ceo!sukuna x bubbly!barista!reader, i fear it's my new obsession. banner credits to @/uzmacchiato. both inspired by, and dedicated to @salsakiyoomi! hope you like it, pretty <33
Tumblr media
ceo!sukuna, a man whose resting face could curdle milk, hates physical touch. like, he'd rather wrestle a rabid badger than endure a friendly pat on the back.
his employees? mere rodents scurrying around his corporate cheese grater, their sole purpose to make his existence slightly less agonizing.
of course, they mostly failed at that. they were less "competent assistants" and more "walking disasters with access to staplers." his day was basically a high-stakes game of "clean up the employee-induced apocalypse," and he was running out of patience, and more importantly, employees.
ex-employees, he'd mentally correct, adding them to his ever-growing blacklist. he'd personally ensure they'd be lucky to get a job at a clown college.
and yet, despite this raging misanthropy and deep-seated aversion to human contact, he ends up craving your arms. the irony was thicker than his expense reports.
"'kuna?" you ask, peering up from your couch fort. "how was your day?"
a grumble is his reply. you've deciphered his grumbles into a complex language, and this one translates to "hell on earth."
you open your arms, and he promptly transforms into a sentient, grumpy weighted blanket, flopping onto you with the grace of a falling grand piano.
you wheeze, but you're used to it. he’s basically a cat, except instead of knocking things off tables, he knocks the air out of your lungs.
"don't even get me started," he mutters, his voice muffled by your chest. he sounds like a toddler who just lost his favorite pacifier. "do you know how many people i had to terminate today?"
"fired, you mean? sukuna, you mean fired, right?" you’re picturing a corporate bloodbath, and it’s not a pretty image. he waves a dismissive hand, which, due to his position on top of you, almost knocks your phone out of your hand.
"yeah, yeah. whatever. they were basically performance art pieces of incompetence."
"okay, but, like, how many?"
"enough." he then changes the subject. "what about you, flower? how was the café?"
your mood instantly does a 180. "oh! it was great! nice and slow. but this one guy came in, all grumpy about his coffee. said he could make it better."
"he did?" sukuna raises an eyebrow, a feat considering he's basically face-planting into your chest. "what happened?"
"told him to go do it, then," you say, grinning. "and then kicked him out."
"that's my girl," he says, a rare flicker of approval in his eyes. "did you throw his coffee at him first?"
"i considered it, but i didn't want to waste good coffee."
he's impressed, that much he'll admit. he shifts, crushing you further. "sukuna!"
"i've been away from my girl all day," he grumbles, nuzzling into your neck. "let me have this."
for a man who supposedly treated physical contact like it was kryptonite, he sure seemed to enjoy clinging to you. maybe he just needed a you-shaped stress ball, you think. and maybe, just maybe, he was secretly a giant softie, hidden under layers of corporate armor and general grumpiness.
or maybe he just liked your couch. either way, you were trapped, and honestly, you weren't complaining. too much.

#. CATS AND CUDDLES
Tumblr media
featuring 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝘅 𝗳𝗲𝗺!𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 ıllı. kaji ren, takiishi chika, sakura haruka, umemiya hajime, togame jo, kiryu mitsuki, suo hayato, endo yamato
fluff. and you thought your boyfriend couldn't get any more cuter, but him with your cat was another definition of the word adorable.
Tumblr media
KAJI REN
Tumblr media
Kaji arrived at your house while you were still at school, his hand reaching out to his hoodie on the chair. He needed it since all his others were in the wash. But as he turned to open a new lollipop, he glanced back at the chair—and the hoodie was gone.
“What the...” he muttered, looking around in confusion. He saw the hoodie again, this time on your bed. As he approached, it seemed to move of its own accord, sliding off the bed and onto the floor. His eyes widened as it began to scuttle around between his legs.
He rubbed his eyes, certain the lollipop's ingredients must be playing tricks on him. But there was no mistaking it—the hoodie was running away from him! “Just what candy did you give me, Y/N?” he muttered, shaking his head as he took off after the ghost.
He chased it through the apartment, his heart racing with both confusion and amusement. The hoodie darted around corners and through rooms with surprising agility. Kaji, determined to catch it, stumbled and finally managed to grab it. Panting, he looked down, only to see your cat emerging from under the hood, stretching lazily. "Meow."
Kaji blinked at the cat, his cheeks flushing slightly. “Don’t tell Y/N about this,” he said, knowing full well that the cat couldn’t talk. But in a world where hoodies could run away, he wasn’t taking any chances.
Tumblr media
TAKIISHI CHIKA
Tumblr media
You invited him over, hoping for a quiet evening indoors away from everyone and everything, especially away from Endo. The mood was perfect until your cat decided to make it's presence known.
Chika had always claimed he hated cats, but yours was determined to change his mind. Circling his legs, brushing against them and meowing softly. Each time, your boyfriend would gently push her away, his expression growing more annoyed by the second.
"I'm just going to grab some drinks. Be right back," you said, kissing his cheek and leaving the room.
When you returned five minutes later, you stopped dead in your tracks. The red-head sat on the couch, his usual grumpy face adorned with slightly narrowed eyes and furrowed eyebrows. Yet, his hand was gently stroking your pet who purred contentedly in his lap.
"Having fun?" you teased, a smile tugging at your lips as as your eyes were filled with adoration, your boyfriend and your cat were so cute. Chika's eyes flicked up to meet yours, "She wouldn't leave me alone," he muttered, but the way his hand continued to pet the kitten told a different story.
"Sure, she wouldn't," you replied, setting the drinks down on the coffee table. "I wouldn't leave you alone even if you wanted me to."
"Really," he insisted, but there was no venom in his tone. Instead, there was a hint of something softer, almost fond. You sat down next to him, reaching over to give your cat a scratch behind the ears. "Looks like she's warming up to you." Chika huffed, but his fingers continued their gentle movements, running through the soft fur. "She's persistent..."
"Just like someone else I know," you said, nudging him playfully. He rolled his eyes but didn't stop petting the cat. "Don't compare me to a cat."
You chuckled, leaning your head on his shoulder. "Why not? You're both stubborn and adorable."
Tumblr media
SAKURA HARUKA
Tumblr media
You wrap your arms around Sakura, feeling him stiffen slightly before he relaxes into your embrace. He’s still getting used to your hugs and the physical affection you shower on him. His pale cheeks tint with a soft pink as he turns his head to look at you, a shy smile tugging at his lips.
One evening, you introduce him to your cat. The fluffy creature eyes him curiously before sauntering over, rubbing against his legs. Sakura hesitates, then gently kneels to pet the cat, his touch delicate as if not to hurt it.
As the days pass, he starts spending more time with your cat. He notices how it follows him around the apartment, always seeking his warmth and presence. Whenever he sits down, the cat immediately curls up in his lap, purring contentedly as he strokes its fur.
You lay together on your bed, your cat nestled between you, Sakura looks at you, with an expression you will never mistake — he is in love.
“You know,” he begins softly, “you and your cat are a lot alike.” You tilt your head in curiosity, signaling him to continue.
“Both of you always search for me, wanting to be close, to cuddle. You both make me feel... wanted.”
His words make your heart flutter and your eyes water with small tears. You smile, reaching out to hold his hand. “We both love you, Haru. How could we not want to be near you?”
Sakura’s eyes soften, and he squeezes your hand gently. The cat purrs louder, as if in agreement, and Sakura laughs quietly, the sound warm and tender.
In that moment, surrounded by the gentle presence of your cat and the warmth of your love, Sakura feels a sense of belonging he never knew he needed, he was loved and wanted. And he will be forever thankful that you chose him over anyone in this world.
Tumblr media
UMEMIYA HAJIME
Tumblr media
You watched him from the doorway, holding your phone just out of sight, trying to capture the scene without disturbing its delicate peace. Umemiya sits comfortably on the couch, absorbed in his book, while the soft glow of the late afternoon sun filters through the window, casting a warm, golden hue over everything. On his lap, your cat snoozes peacefully, a contented purr vibrating from its small body, a slight smile on its face.
Hajime absentmindedly strokes the cat’s fur, his fingers moving in a slow, rhythmic pattern that seems to soothe both the cat and himself. His expression is calm and focused, his lips occasionally twitching into a smile as he reads a particularly interesting book about plants. The entire scene looks like it’s been lifted straight out of an old movie, every detail perfect and impossibly charming.
You can't resist whispering, "You're like something out of a dream, you know that?" He looks up, slightly startled but quickly relaxing when he sees you. A soft smile spreads across his face, his eyes holding their undying affection for you. "Oh? And what makes you say that?"
"Just look at you," you say, stepping closer, still recording. "The book, the cat, the sunlight... it's all too perfect. I feel like I’m in a classic romance film."
He chuckles, a low, warm sound that makes your heart flutter. "Well, as long as I get to be your leading man, I don't mind."
You sit beside him, the cat shifting slightly but not waking. "You’re doing a great job so far," you tease, resting your head on his shoulder. "Can I join in on this perfect moment?"
Hajime leans over and kisses the top of your head gently. "You already are," he murmurs. "This moment wouldn’t be perfect without you."
You close your eyes, savoring the warmth of his words and the serenity of the scene. The cat's purring, Hajime's presence, and the soft rustle of pages turning — wishing this could last forever.
Tumblr media
TOGAME JO
Tumblr media
You stepped into the house, and for the first time it's too quiet, you could only hear your own breathing and footsteps until reaching the bedroom as you catched your boyfriend sprawled across the bed, his chest rising and falling with his deep, peaceful breaths. Curled up on top of him is your cat, purring softly.
Standing in the doorway for a moment, you were just watching them. It's a sight to behold, perfect picture—one that fills your heart with so much love and adoration. Carefully, you move closer, trying not to disturb them but as you step forward, the floor creaks ever so slightly.
Togame stirs, his eyes fluttering open. He doesn’t say anything at first, just blinks sleepily at you. Then, with his lazy smile, he reaches out, his hand warm as it finds yours and pulls you gently into his arms. You melt into his embrace, your head resting on his shoulder, feeling the soft rise and fall of his breath beneath you and the cat adjusts itself, purring louder.
"Sweet dreams, angel," he whispers, his voice a soft murmur against your ear. You feel his lips brush your forehead, a gentle, comforting touch that makes your heart flutter even more.
From the outside, the scene is simple as it can be. You, Togame, and the cat—together, you look like a small family, and maybe some years later you will be one.
Tumblr media
KIRYU MITSUKI
Tumblr media
Your boyfriend is going to be over at your house for a first time since you guys started dating. He has scene your room from video calls during game nights but he was more excited to see your cat because you have been spamming him like crazy in the dms with cute and silly photos of your pet.
As you step back into your room, cradling your cat in your arms like a baby, you see Kiryu sitting on the edge of your bed, looking at his phone. His face lights up the moment he notices you. He puts his phone aside and his eyes sparkle with excitement.
"Hey, there she is," he says with a warm smile, his voice soft and affectionate. "I've been waiting to meet this little star."
You walk over and gently place your cat in his lap. She looks up at him with curious eyes, and he chuckles, stroking her fur gently. She was just like you, melting and relaxing at his touch, maybe ita true that the pets behave like their owners.
"She's even cuter in person," he murmurs, looking up at you with a grin. "Just like you." You blush, feeling your heart flutter at his words. "I'm glad you think so. She's been looking forward to meeting you too."
Kiryu continues to pet your cat, his touch tender and careful, "I've seen so many pictures of her, but ... It's nice to finally be here with you both." and the reason for your death is going to be your own boyfriend with his cute face and honey like words — what a sweet death indeed.
Tumblr media
SUO HAYATO
Tumblr media
The soft hum of birthday music filled the room, mingling with the occasional meow from your cat, who was delightfully eyeing the small, cat-friendly cake you’d made just for him. You had planned this little surprise to make the day special, and it was the best desicion ever.
Your boyfriend was the heart of this adorable celebration, well he couldn't outdo the birthday boy. He had a party hat perched jauntily atop his head, and he looked utterly irresistible with it. And the cat was nestled comfortably in his lap and seemed to be enjoying the moment just as much.
You couldn’t resist the urge to capture this perfect snapshot. Your phone was out in an instant, your finger tapping the screen to snap a photo.
“What’s with the sneaky photo-taking?” Suo asked, glancing up to look at you, his voice warm and affectionate. His fingers gently scratched behind the pet’s ears, making the cat purr contentedly.
You grinned, stepping closer to him. “Just wanted to capture this moment,” you said, showing him the photo. “You look adorable with that party hat and he is enjoying his birthday bash. It’s perfect.”
Hayato chuckled softly, dropping you his iconic eye smile. ”I have to admit, this is the cutest party I’ve ever been to.” He adjusted the party hat slightly, making sure it was sitting just right. “Though I have to ask—what’s my prize for being the best-dressed guest?”
You raised an eyebrow playfully, pretending to ponder his request. “Hmm, let me think… how about a dance with the most charming guest of honor?” You extended a hand, and Suo’s grin widened as he took your hand, standing up and gently shifting the cat to a cozy spot on the couch, like a King watching his princess dancing with Prince Charming. “A dance with the host? Sounds like an offer I can’t refuse. After you, my lady.”
Tumblr media
ENDO YAMATO
Tumblr media
Endo wakes up to something soft and fluffy tickling his mouth. As he blinks his eyes open, he finds your cat nestled comfortably between you and him, its long tail flicking gently. He chuckles softly, reaching out to pet the cat, who responds with a contented purr. 
You stir beside him, your eyes fluttering open just enough to catch the heartwarming sight. The big, bad-tattooed wolf, as you teasingly call him, is gently stroking the cat, his rough exterior contrasting with the tender moment. You can't help but smile, your heart swelling with affection.
“Morning,” you murmur, your voice thick with sleep. Endo’s eyes shift to meet yours, and a soft, loving smile tugs at his lips. “Morning, beautiful,” he replies, his voice as warm and comforting as the embrace he keeps you in.
Your eyelids droop again, heavy with lingering drowsiness. But before sleep can claim you once more, he carefully scoops you and the cat closer, wrapping his strong arms around both of you. You nuzzle into his warmth, a contented sigh escaping your lips.
“I will be late for work,” you mumble, voice still laced with that morning haze when your boyfriend hums, a deep, soothing sound that vibrates through his chest. “Call in sick,” he murmurs against your hair. “I want you to myself today.”
You smile, eyes still closed, basking in the peaceful moment. The cat purrs louder, as if in agreement, and you feel Endo’s lips press a gentle kiss to your forehead.
“Alright,” you whisper back, snuggling closer to him. “Just today.”
Endo’s arms tighten around you, and you feel the rumble of his satisfied chuckle. “Good. Now go back to sleep. We have all day.”
With that, you let yourself drift off again, feeling utterly safe and comfy in his embrace, your cat’s purrs lulling you back into a peaceful slumber.
A couple of hours later, you wake up again, this time to the sound of soft murmuring. You open your eyes to find Endo on the phone, his voice low and soothing, as he scratches the cat behind the ears.
“Yeah, she’s not feeling well today,” he says, glancing down at you with a wink. “She will see you tomorrow. Thanks.” He hangs up and looks at you with a playful grin. “All taken care of.”
You stretch. “You’re too good to me, Endo.” He leans in, brushing his lips against yours in a sweet kiss. “You deserve it, baby,” he whispers “Now, how about breakfast in bed?”

something stupid | roronoa zoro x fem!reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the time is right, your perfume fills my head the stars get red, and, oh, the night's so blue and then I go and spoil it all by saying somethin' stupid like, "i love you."
word count: 1.3k
cw/tags: roronoa zoro x fem!reader, drinking and drunken confessions, short&sweet, sfw and fluff!! inspired by something stupid - frank sinatra & nancy sinatra
Tumblr media
the sound of the crashing waves against the ship’s hull mingled with the cacophonous laughter that erupted from the two of you. after a long, stressful day of evading one of the many nefarious foes that tailed behind your crew, zoro had the brilliant idea of winding down with a cool bottle of sake. 
zoro's head swayed with the restless current, bobbing against the wooden panels that lined the crow’s nest. his beautifully tanned skin prickled with goosebumps as the ocean breeze grazed his exposed arms. when he was with you, zoro felt like he could come alive — lowering his guard and allowing himself to be ignorant to the outside world, just for a moment. his stoicism faltered whenever you were around, effortlessly tugging a gentle smile at his lips with a single, all-knowing glance. despite only being a part of the crew for a few months, you grew to understand zoro better than anyone else on the crew — hell, sometimes better than himself. the relationship between the two of you was easy and comfortable, two feelings zoro had never been familiar with. his life always flashed a million miles a minute, encountering death more times than he’d be willing to admit. but when you were around, his life slowed down, making time to commit your soft features to memory. 
the feelings zoro had for you were more than romantic. sure, he allowed his mind to wander to not-so-appropriate places over the last few weeks when he finally realized his feelings for you. but the fluttering in his chest and stomach were not the only distinct symptoms that accompanied this crush. it exceeded the bounds of love and lust, crossing over into an unbridled admiration. he appreciated you in his life, finding himself unable to imagine a world that you weren't in, weren't a part of. and in the brief moments that he did, his chest hollowed and an aching loneliness burned through his heart.  
so yeah, he liked you.
the alcohol that ran through his system made him feel light, its buzz causing his cheeks to flush. although, his blush wasn’t attributed to the alcohol alone. no, he had been watching the way you threw your head back, your loud and chaotic laughter erupting from your rosy lips. he loved how comfortable you were around each other, not afraid to unleash your “ugly laugh,” as you had called it once before. anything you did was a sign of beauty in his eyes, a treasure that he wanted to keep all for himself. 
unbeknownst to zoro, you had felt the same way for a long time. ever since you met him, you recognized how undeniably handsome he was. the macho-man front he put on in the beginning had been a little off putting, constantly walking on eggshells to avoid disturbing him. however, zoro warmed up to you quite nicely once you had proved yourself trustworthy. you’d teased him once about being like a grumpy old cat — distant at times but always coming around when it mattered, showing affection at random periods, yet welcomed all the same.
your sweet, floral perfume fused with the salty ocean air, creating a dizzying sense of pleasure through zoro’s head. he knew he was staring at you, probably making you uncomfortable as the silence ran long. but he didn’t care. instead, he kept his eyes soft and his lips slightly parted into a smile, drunk off your presence alone. the alcohol was merely a confidence boost for what he was about to say, something he’d been itching to tell you for a long time. 
“i love you,” zoro said, voice barely above a whisper. his eyes were fixated on you, watching you and waiting for the reaction he wanted. his gaze was intense, a tension building in his chest as the nerves bundled beneath the surface.
your heart jumped for a split second, stopping at the sound of his voice. he’s drunk, you reassured yourself, careful not to get your hopes up.
“yeah, yeah. i love you too, zoro” you joked, brushing off his words while you fixed your concentration on the dark ocean below. the tension inside the crow’s nest became heavy, a warmth flushing your cheeks that you begged to stop spreading.
“no, you’re not listening to me,” he slurred, words laced with frustration as he sat upright. something in zoro’s eyes shifted, his relaxation transforming into a seriousness that you had been entirely unprepared for, “i’m in love with you.”
“what?”
the warmth in the air became a tension so palpable that you could’ve molded it between your fingers, grasping it to stabilize your now-trembling hands. rather than accepting his words for what they had been, you’d been filled with a nasty bitterness as your mouth turned sour. you’d grown accustomed to the degrading routine of unrequited love, its loneliness becoming comfortable over time. in truth, the thought of someone possibly reciprocating those feelings terrified you, fearing for the disappointment that would follow.
“you’re drunk, roronoa.” you scoffed. whether it was during arguments or intimate conversations, you’d always addressed zoro by his proper name. it had turned into a safe word, letting him know that you were serious.
you began to rise to your feet, holding onto the wall for support as the alcohol ran wild through your system. zoro had stared at you with fierce bewilderment, brows furrowed as you packed for the night. he latched onto your wrist, grasp a perfect balance between firm and cautious, as if he were afraid you’d break under the pressure. zoro’s eyes were staring up into yours with an intense desperation, pleading for an ounce of your undivided attention.
“i’m serious, [y/n]. i love you. but you don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to. i know it’s weird coming from me — hell, i feel weird just saying it. but i know that if i don’t tell you now…i don’t think i ever will.”
the apprehension in his voice told you that he was telling the truth, a very scary truth at that. there were many times during battle, both on land and sea, where zoro should have been afraid. but nothing could have scared him more than the thought of losing you. he was worried that you’d reject him, forever tarnishing the beautiful friendship that you both worked so hard to build and protect. he was worried that you’d no longer come to him when you needed someone to talk to, afraid that he’d made things weird with his stupid crush. i’m such a fucking idiot.
however, nothing could have prepared him for the way you leapt into his arms, tackling him to the ground. the impact caused him to lose his balance, the both of you rolling onto your backs. drunken laughter filled the room once more, only this time it was accompanied with relief. you made your way into his arms, chests pressed against each other as your hearts synchronized. the kiss you planted on his lips was shy, testing the waters. zoro’s rough hands raked gently through your hair, grabbing a handful as he pulled you deeper into the kiss. you could taste the sake as your tongues mingled together, drinking in the remnants through his saliva. his grip on your waist tightened as you bucked your hips against his, hungrily begging for more and more of him.
“you have no idea how long i’ve been wanting to do that,” you huffed, cheeks and lips flushed as you catch your breath.
zoro’s lips traced your jawline, traveling downward as he placed a trail of kisses and nibbles down your neck, “who said we have to stop?”
Tumblr media
cranked this one out real quick cause i just had to get it off my chest. i’ve been such a zoro and sanji girl lately it’s becoming an issue someone please sedate me

Hiiii! ✨
I love your work, especially the grumpy sunshine troupe of Bucky and reader. Could you write one where reader takes Bucky’s favorite/go-to hoodie or sweatshirt and he wants it back (but not really, because he loves when she wears it) and she refuses so he tickles her to pieces? 👀
Thanks in advance girlie pop! 🤭
Mission: Hoodie Heist
Pairing: Avenger! Bucky Barnes x Avenger! Fem! Reader (Grumpy x Sunshine)
Tumblr media
Summary: When you steal Bucky Barnes’ favorite hoodie and refuse to give it back, a chaotic battle of tickles, cuddles, and reluctant (not reluctant) affection unfolds. Unfortunately for Bucky, Sam now has photo evidence.
Word Count: Roughly 1.4k 
Warnings: Fluff, comical violence, teasing, flirting, stolen hoodie crimes, cursing, weaponization of puppy eyes, domestication of a deadly assassin <3
Author’s Note: There were two requests that were kind of similar in prompt, so I combined both ideas :)
Navigation
Divider by: @saradika-graphics
Tumblr media
Bucky Barnes walked into the compound’s common room, and his eyes locked onto you instantly. You were curled up on the couch, sipping a hot chocolate with extra whipped cream and marshmallows. 
Wearing his hoodie. 
His favorite hoodie.
The one that was a little faded, soft from many washes, and smelled faintly of cedarwood and Bucky himself.
And here you were. 
Drowning in it, sleeves hanging past your hands, hood pulled over your head, the hem nearly to your knees. Looking way too smug for someone who had committed such a heinous act.
“You’re wearing my hoodie,” Bucky stated.
You glanced up with your puppy dog eyes. “Am I?”
He scowled. “You know damn well you are.”
“Wow, language, gramps.”
He groaned and took a sip of coffee, muttering something that sounded like “fucking menace to society.”
“I’m not a menace,” you chirped, settling deeper into the couch cushions. “I’m curious and stubborn, but not a menace, Mr. Barnes.”
“You almost got hit by a cab yesterday because you crossed four lanes of traffic to pet a cat.”
“I needed to pet that cat. His name was Meatball, and he had pretty toe beans. It was an emergency. I did what had to be done.”
Bucky pinched the bridge of his nose. “That hoodie is mine.”
“It’s mine now,” you said sweetly. “Finders keepers.”
“I live here.”
“And yet, you didn’t guard your hoodie very well, did you?” You flashed him a grin. “Rookie mistake, Sarge.”
He stared at you in silence for a long moment. The corner of his mouth twitched, just a little. If you blinked, you would have missed it. You always managed to pull a smile out of him. “Give it back.”
“No.”
“Doll.”
“Make me, Bucky.”
He set his coffee down.
Your eyes went wide, the exact moment you realized you might have made a tactical error.
“No no no no no…”
Too late.
Bucky launched forward, snatching the blanket off you. You squealed and tried to roll off the couch, but his metal arm was faster, wrapping around your waist and hauling you into his lap like you weighed nothing.
“NO! BUCKY!” You shrieked, already laughing as he pinned you with one arm and used the other, traitorous metal fingers and all, to attack your sides.
“You asked for this!” He didn’t even try to hide the smile in his voice now.
Your laughter turned into squeals of protest. “NO—STOP—I’M GONNA—BUCKY I’M GONNA DIE—”
“You’re not gonna die.”
“I COULD!”
“Pretty sure you won’t, sweetheart.” He was grinning now, fully enjoying himself as you kicked your legs and tried to wiggle away, completely failing.
“UNCLE!” you gasped, flailing.
“I ain’t your uncle, sunshine.”
You giggled at his joke and squirmed. 
“TRUCE!”
He paused, squeezing your cheeks together. “Say it, sweetheart.”
“I surrender.” You whispered. 
He let up slightly, though his hand was still resting on your hip, ready to tickle you again.
“And what do you say?” he asked smugly.
“I say… that this is my hoodie now,” you panted, not able to help yourself in stirring the pot.
He blinked.
“You little brat.”
But before he could start round two of tickling, you twisted in his lap and kissed his cheek. 
It was a quick, soft press. Featherlight, barely there, but it made him freeze.
And turn a little flushed.
“You can keep it,” he muttered, eyes avoiding yours.
You blinked. “Wait, really?”
“You look cute in it,” he said gruffly, as if it physically hurt to admit. “Like too cute. It’s nauseating.”
Your eyes sparked brightly. “Awww, Bucky!”
“Don’t make this a thing,” he warned, pointing a finger.
“Oh, it’s already a thing,” you sang, grinning like you’d just won a war.
You snuggled deeper into the hoodie and his lap. Bucky sighed, letting his hand rest on your back.
“You’re exhausting,” he murmured.
“You love it.”
“Unfortunately.”
You were the human equivalent of a cat in a sunbeam.
Content, warm, curled up right in his lap like you belonged there. 
Because, obviously, you did.
He didn’t seem to mind, either. His fingers traced gentle, idle circles along your spine while you flicked through movie options on the TV.
You smirked, peeking at him with that sunshine and mayhem gleam in your eyes. “Hey, Bucky?”
“What now.”
“Okay, hear me out,” you said, glancing up at him with that sparkle in your eye, the one that always made him feel like he was about to be talked into something insane. “We watch Howl’s Moving Castle, again, and you let me explain for the sixth time why you’re totally Howl and I’m Sophie.”
He gave you a look. “I don’t have magic.”
“You do too have magic,” you said, booping his nose. “Grumpy charm magic.”
He sighed, but you caught the faintest twitch of a smile. “Fine. One movie.”
You gasped like he’d handed you the moon. “You never let me pick the movie. What’s wrong with you today?”
“I’m letting you pick so you’ll stop talking.”
“Oh, Bucky,” you said sweetly. “You love when I talk.”
He groaned in annoyance, but kissed the side of your head. “Just press play, sunshine.”
So you did. 
You happily pressed play, then curled deeper into his chest, cheek resting over his heart. He smelled like cedarwood, coffee, something specifically like Bucky himself, and warmth. 
Despite all his usual icy demeanor, Bucky Barnes ran warm, and you took full advantage.
You made it all of a few minutes into the movie before your voice piped up again.
“Hey Bucky?”
He grumbled in acknowledgment. 
“If I ever get cursed by a witch and turned into an old lady, would you still love me?”
He snorted with laughter. “You already act like a grandma sometimes. You carry mints in your pocket and yell at people for not wearing seatbelts.”
“That’s called caring, James.”
“Sure, sweetheart.”
You grinned and cuddled closer. “So…you’d love me even if I were a raisin too?”
His hand slid up to gently cup the back of your head. “I’d still love you if you were a literal raccoon, as long as you stopped climbing into dumpsters.”
“That happened one time,” you muttered.
“It was last week.”
You stuck your tongue out at him, and he pinched it gently. 
Click.
Both your heads snapped toward the sound at the same time.
There, standing in the doorway, was Sam Wilson.
Grinning.
Triumphant.
“Awwwwwwww,” Sam cooed in a high-pitched voice. “Look at you two! Bucky’s got a cuddle buddy!”
You blinked.
Bucky’s entire body stiffened under you.
Sam tapped his phone screen. “This one’s going in the ‘Grumpy’s Gone Soft’ folder. Nat’s gonna love this.”
“You take another picture and I swear to god.” Bucky started, voice already low and dangerous.
But it was too late. Sam had already hit the shutter again.
“Barnes has a cuddle bunny,” he egged on Bucky.
Bucky arms released you gently, settling you on the couch.
“Uh-oh,” Sam muttered.
And then?
Bucky lunged.
Sam yelped and bolted, laughing like a madman.
“You’ll never catch me, old man!”
“WATCH ME.”
You scrambled up to your knees on the couch, watching the chaos unfold; the only missing thing was popcorn.
Just before Sam could reach the hallway, Bucky snatched him by the back of his shirt and yanked him backward like a rag doll.
“Bucky! Come on, man! It’s content! People eat this up!”
Bucky wordlessly grabbed the phone, held it up, and chucked it.
Hard.
It flew beautifully through the air and landed in a nearby potted plant with a satisfying thud.
“MY PHONE!” Sam yelled.
“Get a new one,” Bucky muttered, releasing him.
Sam glared at him. “You’ve got issues, man.”
“You’ve got boundary problems.”
Still grumbling, Sam retrieved his poor, slightly dirt-covered phone and slunk away, muttering about “romantic drama and dictators with metal arms.” You peeked over the back of the couch as Bucky stalked back over.
“You didn’t have to throw it that hard,” you teased.
“He took a picture of me smiling,” Bucky muttered, reclaiming his seat. “That’s blackmail material.”
You smiled and plopped right back in his lap without missing a beat. He grunted, but his arms found their place around you like they’d never left.
“You smiled for me,” you murmured.
“Don’t remind me.”
“You like me.”
“Regrettably.”
You tilted your head up and kissed his jaw. “Still letting me keep the hoodie?”
He rolled his eyes but his mouth curved again, that quiet little smile that only you got.
“Yeah,” he said. “Keep it.”
You beamed.
Bucky sighed into your hair.
“Sunshine,” he muttered.
“Grump,” you whispered back.

The Heart Of The Woods
Tumblr media
Hi my loves! I wanted to give you guys a peek into our grumpy mountain manrry! He’s different to some that I’ve written before but I think you’ll like him if you give him a chance
Read the series ( 9 parts ongoing) and 220+ exclusive writings on our Patreon!
WC- 1.4k
Warnings- tiny bit of rejection, asshole h
Tumblr media
He hadn’t been sure what he was thinking.
Hiring a housekeeper had not been on his agenda, but it put his mum at ease. Being far from her, up in his large cabin in the middle of the mountain, she had said she worried a lot about not only his well being, but about him overworking himself. His days started early, working on splitting wood, emails, driving down to deliver it, and all of that. His group of employees that worked on the lot not too far from his own place up the mountain were his main source of socialization and even they knew not to bug him too much.
Harry preferred to be left alone.
So why hire a housekeeper? It sounded okay at the time. Someone to keep the fire stoked and the house warm so he could come home and not have the house be cold for him and his animals, someone to cook and clean and… another body in the house. Make it less lonely. Maple was a good companion, Ash was too, but a dog and a cat didn’t replace human connection. Perhaps that’s why he had found himself feeling more irritated lately.
Watching the car pull in, he had to wonder how she could fit her belongings into such a small vehicle. Weren't women supposed to have a lot of stuff? The question was answered as she stepped out of the car, light wash jeans clinging to her thighs and pink sweater hanging on her form as she waved up to him. "Hi!" she grinned a tad bit too brightly for his comfort, jogging up to the wraparound porch. "I’m so sorry l'm a little late. I got lost at the turn- the split in the road? and I didn't have good service to call and let you know. I usually try and do that.”
She was rambling.
He grumbled, wiping his hands on his work pants. “Late's fine. I didn’t have any plans today, just don’t make a habit of it.” Glancing at her car, then back at her, he gave her a little bit of a look. “You got everything you need?” He wasn’t the best at socializing, famously, but she wasn’t aware of that yet considering their talk had mainly consisted of emails. It would be something she quickly found out.
“Oh!” Her chuckle was nervous as the man stood tall above her on the wooden porch, making her look up a bit at him. “Uh, yeah. I.. I kinda had to get out of my place in a hurry, so this worked out.” She smiled up at him before looking back to her car. “Did you want me to grab my stuff now or did you want me to do it after you give me the run down of what you want me to do?”
He sighed, stepping aside to let her pass. “Follow me.” He led her inside, shutting the door behind her. It was weird feeling someone else in his space. It had been a long time since he’d heard footsteps other than his own or his pets in the hall, and he wasn’t quite sure how he felt about it yet. Leading her down the wooden hall, he brought her towards the main part of the house- a large step down living room he mentally referred to as the den. The stone fireplace was lit with the fire going already as he gestured to a chair by it. “Sit.”
Y/N was distracted a little by the skylight- and then the view outside. It was absolutely gorgeous. The whole place was. She had slightly underestimated it despite the size of the place when she had applied to work eyes but she would make it work. At least the view was great. She could see that there was a deck outside, the view of the mountains sprawling behind them sort of blowing her away. The awe only lasted a few moments though, when she heard him clear his throat. Oops. “Sorry.” She smiled nervously. “The view distracted me. You’ve got a beautiful home.”
He grunted, not really used to compliments. Small talk wasn’t his thing. He sat down in his recliner, stretching his legs out in front of him before resting his hands on his knees. “So, as your employer, I expect you t’keep this place clean. Cook meals, do laundry, that sort of thing.” He paused, looking at her critically. “M’not home most of the day, and when I am I’m usually in my workshop. It’s the building out to the side that you saw.” He clasped his hands together. “We don’t need to have a ton of interaction. I need you to keep the fire stoked, maybe feed Ash for me if I get back late. I don’t have a lot of rules, but I ask you to respect my space.”
“Uh, alright.” She nodded, taking out her phone to take notes. “I figured the normal house stuff. I…” Her body felt the cringe as she went to ask it. “I haven’t really stoked a fire longer than it’s taken to do a bonfire while camping so, if there’s some sort of magic you know to keep it going longer I’d love to know it.” The girl didn’t want to fuck it up. The man worked with wood. The last thing she wanted to do was waste it.
It did make her a little unsettled to hear the other part, though. “Um, and what do you mean exactly by not needing to interact? Like, you don’t want to see or hear from me?”
Harry paused, his gaze sharpening a little on the girl. He was used to being alone. He liked being alone. He didn’t want to come home to some sort of chatty roommate. “I mean exactly that.” He said gruffly.
“Oh.” She replied quietly, swallowing the lump on her throat. Her gaze averted when his sharpened on hers, looking towards her lap. He was a little intimidating and she felt embarrassed for some reason- but logically she knew she hadn’t done anything wrong. Didn’t mean her body knew that, though.
“O-Okay. I’ll make sure to give you your space.” Her head nodded, convincing herself it would be good for her. Maybe akin to rejection therapy. She had hoped for something a little different, but this was the escape she had needed- she couldn’t complain. “Can you tell me what kind of foods you like, or don’t, so I can make what you’ll eat?”
Harry grunted, his expression relaxing slightly at the mention of food. He hated being bothered with small talk, but food was something he could appreciate- it was part of her job, anyways. He could talk abojt that. “I like meat and potatoes. Steak, roast chicken, mashed potatoes, that sort of thing. Don’t bother with fancy shit. Just straightforward, hearty food.”
He paused, thinking for a moment before continuing. “And coffee. Black coffee. None of that fancy latte crap. Just straight up coffee.” He stood up, stretching his arms over his head. “That’s all you need to know for now. You can start preparing dinner and I’ll be back later.”
“Oh! I… are you sure?” She stood up too, following him. “Where should I put my things?” Part of her felt a little nervous she had fucked up with how fast he seemed to want to get out of there, but she didn’t know what she could have done to offend him. Was this just the way he was? Probably. She shouldn’t take it personally- but part of her did, just a bit. “I don’t know which room I should set my things up in.”
Harry turned around, his expression still stern. “You can set up in the spare room down the hall. It’s the first door on the right.” He pointed down the hallway before continuing. “I don’t need any help with my things. Just worry about your own shit for now.”
Her eyes fell down towards the floor, nodding at his words. It must just be the way he was, she concluded. He didn’t bother saying goodbye as she heard the door close, the ticking of the large grandfather clock in the den the only sound until the start of his pickup was muffled outside.
Who the hell was this man? And what had she gotten herself into?

[Porn star puppy]
𝙒𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙭 𝙇𝙤𝙜𝙖𝙣 (𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙩!𝙬𝙤𝙡𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙚)
𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩: 1,8k
𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙮/𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙩: Wade helps to distract his grumpy boyfriend from alcohol withdrawal by forcing orgasm after orgasm from him.
𝙏𝙖𝙜𝙨: Smut, rim, anal sex, handjob, overstimulation, multiple orgasms, praise kink, slight degradation kink, hair pulling, sex tape, sub/dom subtones, bottom!logan, top!wade, fourth wall break.
It was a rough fucking day. When Logan normally tags along with Wade at his casual hit jobs, they don't usually stress him out so much. They just get the job done easy, peasy. Kill some bad guys, yada yada and all that. And it was nice to do something once in a while so that he wouldn't just rot in the apartment he now shared with his mouthy boyfriend and a blind old lady. (Logan was definitely not used to calling Wade that but it was a working progress. Besides, it has just been a few weeks since they put a name to what they have.)
But no, today drained him. He's been more testy lately if he actually thinks about it...
It was probably the fucking withdrawal. It was getting worse.
Turns out the cons of having a boyfriend now is that for once, when he acted like the self-destructive little shit that he is, he now felt like he was dragging Wade along. Fine, it wasn't really a con... It's just that Logan was used to being miserable, used to kicking himself down and drowning himself in bottles and bottles so he could escape from his own thoughts for a little while.
But Wade 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 cared. Wade cared, and Logan could see it whenever Wade took care of him when he'd come back to the apartment stumbling and barely able to hold himself up until he passed out on the couch after spending hours on a random bar. The seventh that he had been banned from in this universe already.
So maybe he hesitantly gave in and let the merc convince him to try and stay sober.
And fuck if it isn't hard as hell.
Logan was exhausted and pent up and grumpy and god he craved a drink more than anything. Several, actually.
But Wade... Well, he had his ways to distract and ease him. So it wasn't all bad.
Al was out for a date for plot convenience, and right now they were on the living room couch and Wade has his grumpy boyfriend with his back glued to his chest and grunting as Wade pumped his over-stimulated cock mercilessly. Logan's thighs were trembling, and he could barely form any coherent words, his eyes rolling back into his head as he rested it on Wade's shoulder and Wade was fucking mesmerized by the sight in front of him.
"You don't look so scary when you're all pliant and desperate in my arms, baby girl. You're just a little kitty cat, aren't you?" Wade coos in Logan's ear.
"Shut the f-fuck up-" Logan grunt in annoyance but Wade could feel his boyfriend's cock twitching in his fist and he couldn't help but smirk. Logan mind was dazed. He's lost count of how many orgasms Wade pulled out of him, his thighs and abs in a mess of his own cum. The pleasure was bordering on painful, and yet he couldn't get enough, his body overwhelmed and desperate for more. His healing factor aiding his torture, reliving his libido right after he thought he couldn't take anymore.
"Can't take you seriously when you look so sinful covered in your own juices, princess. God, you look pornographic. You think we should make amateur videos? I think they'd be a hit. The freaks reading this would surely eat it up."
"Wade-" Logan warns through gritted teeth. He lift his arm and his claws pricked out an inch and threatened to come out, but Logan's mind was too focused on the overwhelming stimulation to get them out properly.
"Ah, ah, ah. Down, boy." Wade scouts, tightening his fist on Logan's cock and using his other hand to rub the palm of it against the sensitive tip, earning a desperate whine from his lips, the claws coming back to his arms fully. "Behave."
Logan could hear the grin in Wade's voice and he wanted to fucking mutilate it out of his face, but he didn't had the energy to do much more than whimper like a bitch in heat.
"That's a good boy." Wade praises and Logan felt his cock throb at the words. "God, if you had a tail it'd be fucking wagging right now. That's it, peanut, take it like a good puppy."
"Fuck-" Logan growls, and his hips rut desperately into Wade's hand before he stills and shakes while another stream of thick ropes of cum paint his thighs. Wade 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 loved digging into Logan's praise kink.
Before he could even catch his breath he gasped out a strangled whine as Wade's hand returned to it's previous movements, unrelenting.
"W-Wade!" Logan cries out, his legs trembling.
"Tapping out already, baby girl? Come on, give me one more." The merc coos, licking and nipping at the back of his neck and suckling marks that desapeared in seconds. "Do you want me to stop?"
"N-No... Please," Logan whines and he hates how desperate he sounds, but he also don't fucking cares. Right now, his mind's all fuzzy and his inhibitions said goodbye long time ago. He felt safe with Wade, like he could just let go. "Don't."
Wade rewarded him by pumping faster, his free hand squeezing Logan's pec and pinching his nipple in a movement that made Logan arch his back and whimper, his ass rubbing against Wade's raging hard on. 𝘐𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘺.
"W-Wade, I..." Logan pants, his cheeks warming as he tries to find words that wouldn't make him want to blow up in shame.
"Hm?" He feels his boyfriend tightening the grip in his cock. "Use your words, peanut, go on."
"Shit- Wade... Want your cock." He moans, his cheeks flushing as he clench his fists tight. He could just feel Wade grinning behind him.
"Yeah? How do you want it, baby cheeks?"
"You know how." Logan grunts in response, whining when Wade slows down his hand almost to a stop, pumping in a torturing slow pace.
"Yeah, but I wanna hear you say it, baby."
"Just fuckin- Fuck me already before I impale you in my claws, jerk." He growls.
"Good enough." Wade shrugs with a grin and switches their position in a quick movement, putting Logan on all fours on the couch, making him gasp. "So pretty for me." Wade praised, spreading Logan's cheeks. "You're dripping all over my couch, baby girl."
"Stop fucking calling me th-" He's interrupted by his own groan as Wade dives in and licks his rim, opening him up with his togue, reaching as deep as he could. Logan cries out, not sure if it was too much or not enough. "Wade... stop fucking teasing me, just do it already before I regret it and rail 𝘺𝘰𝘶 instead."
"You're extra bossy today, huh?" Wade chuckles, giving one last lick before moving to grab a bottle of lube in his pants pocket and desposing of them right after, spilling the liquid over his lenght. "Don't worry, I'll turn your brain mushy soon enough, cutie. Be patient for daddy."
"I swear to fucking g- oh 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬." He growls as Wade slides in roughly, his initial grumpiness replaced by a rush of pleasure. Wade takes a punishing pace, forcing desperate moans and whimpers out of him. Logan's arms were trembling, and he slacked his torso onto the couch, his back arching in a filthy angle that has Wade drooling.
"God, I wish you could see yourself right now..." Wade grunts behind him, a clear grin on his voice. "All strong and tough and fucking slutty just for me. Such eye candy."
Wade looks into an invisible audience and grins. "Yeah, I'm talking Hugh Fucking Jackman on all fours in the goddamn void level type shit, but like 10 times better."
Logan snarled but he could barely think of a retort to reprimand Wade, his mind buzzing in pleasure, lewd moans escaping from his lips that would have him blushing if he weren't completely cock drunk right now. He could feel himself leaking pre-cum at the merc's words and 𝘨𝘰𝘥 he feels pathetic, but he fucking likes it.
He shivered as he heard a goddam camera sound behind him and when he turned his head to the side he saw Wade grabbed his fucking phone and was taking pictures of him in this position, and it really shouldn't have sent all his blood straight to his cock the way it did.
"The fuck are you doing, bub?"
"Oh this one's definitely going to my wank material album." Wade just smirked in response.
"I'm gonna rip your fucking fingers out-" He moans loudly when Wade grabs his hair in his fist and tugs it back, arching Logan's back even more. Fireworks pop inside Logan's head as Wade's cock hit his prostate and brushes against it over and over in a quick pace.
"Shh, now kitty, just take it." Wade moans as he presses the record button. "My little porn star, so fucking hot."
"Shit- fuck, fuck, fuck," Logan whimpers, his cock twitching repeatedly, his balls growing tighter as his body prepares for yet another orgasm, probably the fifth of the night or something, he wasn't sure.
"Go on, Wolvie. Show me the good little cockwhore you are for me, kitten.
"Gonna cum, gonna-" A series of whines leaves his throat. His claws come out in a flash and dig into the cushions as he paints the couch with his seed, his eyes rolling back at the intense wave of pleasure hitting him like a train.
"God-" Wade wasn't far behind. He gaps and thrusts roughly a couple more times before spilling inside Logan with a desperate moan, as if he's been holding back just to bring his boyfriend to the edge first.
Logan was now boneless in the couch, his mind fully empty as he swims in the afterglow. He wasn't thinking or worrying or craving any drink, and it just felt like heaven. When his heartbeat comes back to normal he unsheathed his claws from the poor couch, sliding them back into his skin.
After a few seconds catching his breath, Wade pulls out with a grunt and records with a smirk as his cum leaks out of Logan's puffy hole before tossing his phone aside. He leans down and wrap his arms around Logan, settling them until they're spooning in the cum soaked couch, barely fitting them both layed like this.
"We should get up and clean this mess before Althea gets home wonder why the house smells like bleach." Logan sighs gruffly, but he doesn't make any move to leave, his body too exhausted.
"Mhmm. Just five more minutes, mom."
Logan roll his eyes.
"God, you're insufferable."
"Yeah, well, you love me anyway, peanut."
And he doesn't reply anything, not a mean retort or an annoyed growl because it was true.
He does love this idiot.

Reader is actively bothering dan heng and at some point starts scratching him under his chin and he purrs
And then they kinda,, settle down and he falls asleep on their lap. I need purring dan heng please
Dragon turned cat
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary —☆ giving grumpy Dan Heng chin scratches to bother him!
Contains —★ fluff, Imbibitor Lunae Dan Heng, mischievous reader, pre established relationship
Tumblr media
Dragon turned cat. Except he sleeps like one.
Honestly.. After getting back after that big fight with ‘Phantylia’ on the ‘Xianzhou Luofu’, no doubt everyone is drained. So trudging back to their room, (Reader) makes an exhausted trek over to the car door. Himeko is going back to creating her 5th coffee, and Welt is just going to take a much needed break. March 7th is going to do some mild stress-shopping online. No worries.
But Dan Heng? Well, is it ‘Imbibitor Lunae’ now? Even just asking themselves that question makes (Reader) more tired. Though, they do feel pity for the Express’ cloud-piercer-turned-Vidyadhara. He really had gotten a lot of pressure from that and (Reader) couldn't imagine how he felt. So for now, they just wanted to go to their room and take the fattest nap they could, leaving Dan Heng to relax and rejuvenate himself.
Arriving and flopping on their bed, (Reader) turns and lays on their back to stare at the ceiling. You'd think that they would be passing out right away, but they aren't.
“..Damn..” (Reader) gruffed to themselves, body feeling achy, yet mind awake. “..Dan Heng…”
Pause.
“..Really did look even more attractive with horns and a tail.” (Reader) has come to that embarrassing conclusion purely on intrusive thoughts and thinking out loud. Which they quickly realized and groaned into their hands. “..Oh cmon (Reader).. He could be insanely hurt and all you could think about is how attractive he is…”
Internally berating themselves, (Reader) should be leaving poor Dan Heng alone. And yet here they are, gushing and tweaking out over the pure adrenaline of seeing a new side of the normally stoic and quiet member of the Express. To ease their now rioting mind, (Reader) closes their eyes in an attempt to sleep. But of course, that does not help. And instead, pictures and moments from the fight with ‘Phantylia’ kept playing over and over again. Fortunately, it wasn't all just frames of Dan Heng in his dragon form, but from how admirable he is for continuing to fight even though he could easily be exerting himself.
And that's one of the things that made (Reader) feel so fond of Dan Heng; For his constant determination and passion to protect everybody is just admirable, even if he gets hurt in the process.
..Which is why (Reader) suddenly feels the need to check-up on Dan Heng and make sure he’s okay.
Filled with an abrupt injection of energy, (Reader) springs out of bed and makes a quick trot down to Dan Heng’s room, filled with good intentions.
And yet they pause in front of his door, about to knock. They stop because… What if Dan Heng wanted to be alone? To think about all of the sins that he had to inherit from the previous ‘Imbibitor Lunae’? All of a sudden, (Reader)’s head gets heavy with guilt for lack of consideration on that part.
But to make themselves feel better, instead of making this an energetic pick-me-up for Dan Heng, (Reader) decides to just gently ask if Dan Heng needed anything. And so they knock.
Knock.
There was silence on the other side, but a small, tired ‘Come in’ was heard. (Reader), being ecstatic that Dan Heng seemed willing enough to let them in, quietly opened the door and peeked their head inside.
“Dan… Heng?” (Reader) starts off with a mellow voice. “You doing…” Their eyes glaze over Dan Heng, who is still in his Vidyadhara form for a few seconds. Those beautiful turquoise horns on the dark shade of his hair.. And that long mystical tail that curled around his body as he sat on the floor was just adorable and serene.
Shaking their head, (Reader) clears their throat softly. “..Al..right?” They finally finished as Dan Heng turned his head around.
And so, that's where his fatigue is clear. His face was a little gloomier than his normal gloomy, visible clues on him being very exhausted. Those greenish-blueish eyes were also glazed with overwhelming swirls. Stressed out this poor man. Truly.
Blinking and sighing, Dan Heng looked down at his crossed legs. “..I’m.. fine. Thank you for asking (Reader).” He responds, but just has that kind of vibe that he is clearly trying to make himself feel better and not have (Reader) worry about him.
Sensing absolute BS, (Reader) tilted their head as they ended up walking inside and closing his door behind them. “You sure? Cause it looks like you could drink some of Himeko’s coffee..” They joked, but quickly regretted it as it didn't seem like the right time to say that.
In response to that, Dan Heng only ‘Hmm'd' and didn't comment on (Reader) entering his room without explicit permission, which (Reader) subconsciously thanked.
The silence being so damn loud, (Reader) tries to then find some things to say or do that would lift Dan Heng’s spirits.
“..So…” (Reader) says a bit awkwardly. “..Do you need anything?”
“No thank you. Not at the moment.” Dan Heng responds with a firm tone that quickly falters to being a lazy and muttered response at the end.
“..Ah.” (Reader) nodded slowly.
At this point, they're just mentalling kicking themselves at how poorly planned out this little thing is becoming. Or well, didn't become since it’s been a literal wreck since (Reader) put their idea in motion.
“..I was just going to go back to meditating; Thinking about all of my newly shouldered responsibilities and stuff..” Dan Hend uttered as he sighed, staring back down on the floor.
Clearly he has been meditating for a long time, not physically sleeping or resting his sore body. (Reader) could very well see that.
“Okay well.. Couldn't you take a break from meditating for a little?” They suggest. “Maybe even catch some needed sleep..” (Reader) adds. But stop at that because it just sounds like they're bossing Dan Heng around.
However, the dragon didn't think so and looked up at (Reader) from the ground. “..MAybe you're right… But still. I have a lot on my mind and can't seem to relax.” He admits.
(Reader)’s heart pangs from feeling the heartfelt vulnerability coming from Dan Heng, as he really does try to handle things the best he could. So walk over and sit next to Dan Heng, also crossing their legs in that same kind of meditating position.
“Well, since you're tired and wanted to read, why don't I read whatever you need to you?” (Reader) offers with pure intentions.
Dan Heng’s face brightened up at the kind offer. “..How nice of you (Reader)..” He nodded appreciatively. Then shifted around and leaned back towards his small collection of books.
Tail moving out of his way, Dan Heng grabs a book about further research on ‘Synthesis’ or something. Handing (Reader) the book, Dan Heng leaned and relaxed on the floor, still in a restrictive ball.
(Reader) holds the book and shifts over to Dan Heng, but not too close. “A book on ‘Synthesis’..” They murmured in some amusement, then just opened up to a random page. “..Uhhh… ‘Omni-Synthesizer’ is used to create…”
And so for the next 10 minutes, (Reader) and Dan Heng both chill on the floor. (Reader) is much more energetic than the dragon, as the latter was just sitting there, listening along in silence as the tip of his tail flicked occasionally. But of course, things were getting repetitive, that was clear when (Reader) started to read with less energy. Even Dan Heng was nodding off to all of the ‘super intellectual information’ on the Omni-Synthesizer. Taking this as the cue to stop, (Reader) closes the book softly and sets it aside.
Sighing, (Reader) scoots up against the wall and rested their heavy on the shelf behind them. “Hah.. Sorry Dan Heng. But If I have to read ‘Omni-Synthesizer’ again I might knock myself out.” They apologized, looking at the horns on Dan Heng’s head first then at his tired face.
Dan Heng on the other hand, also followed in (Reader)’s lead, moving up and leaned against the shelf. “..It’s alright.”
“..So.. Do you feel more relaxed or..” (Reader) asks quietly, a yawn suddenly comes over them, so they just yawn into their hand. “..Cause I’m feeling tired again..”
At the question, Dan Heng’s tail sways back and forth on his floor, making no sound. “..I do feel.. Better, actually. Maybe I can actually sleep.” He sighs, feeling a little relieved and grateful for (Reader)’s help.
Smiling, (Reader) nodded and thought for a few seconds. They had an idea. A stupidly personal idea. But an idea. “..Yeah? Well uh,” They patted their lap with uncertainty. “...Maybe… A… HEAD MASSAGE would get you to fully relax??? You said before that you had a lot on your mind so why don't I smooth out those overwhelming feelings and thoughts?” (Reader) babbled.
Dan Heng stared blankly at the suggestion. Then sighed. “...Would that even work…?” He asks skeptically.
“..I don't know.” (Reader) admits sheepishly.
“Then it would be best to not try it. It might make my head hurt more.” Dan Heng said. Then looked away. He takes a deep sigh, seeming to calm his breathing.
Feeling a little embarrassed, (Reader) also looks away and at the lamp near his bed. “..Maybe you can't sleep because the light is on.” They say, reaching over then turned the lamp off.
Click.
The lights are off, and Dan Heng’s room suddenly turns dim. The only light source is coming from the radiating light from the nearby technology in the room.
Dan Heng makes no comments. And instead just sat there in silent brooding.
Silence again.
(Reader) thinks again and looks at Dan Heng once again in a side-glance. “..So.. How does having horns and a long tail feel?” They ask quietly.
Dan Heng looked over and looked away again. “It feels the same. I find myself not being able to feel them after a while.”
“Ah..” (Reader) slowly nods.
Awkward silence again.
“...So.. Were you always part of the Vidyadhara? Or did you just reconnect with…” (Reader) makes a confused hand gesture. Then dropped them, waving a hand. “..Nevermind.” They muttered at their dumb question.
However, Dan Heng paid no mind to it, and kept focusing on clearing his head. At this point, a few minutes pass with the heavy silence. And maybe from too many awkward moments, (Reader) starts dozing off. Or well, their head is going up and down repeatedly. Glancing over once again, Dan Heng looked up and down (Reader) and made a few shifts over. Their knees make contact and (Reader) jolted up and awake, only to be met with sudden weight on their lap; A pair of light blue eyes meet up and gaze at their own from below, and blinked tiredly, only to look off to the side.
(Reader) doesn't say anything at first, and just sits there stunned. And only did their attention hone in as one of Dan Heng’s horn things ghosted against their shirt. They stare and stare, Dan Heng stares and stares off to the side in return. Kind of an awkward action, but (Reader) makes do with it and slowly brings a hand to pat the top of Dan Heng’s head,
His hair is soft. It was visually longer, and more… Luscious?? Voluminous? Whatever it is, it’s satisfying to the touch, quickly making (Reader) addicted to petting it as weird as it sounds. Dan Heng just closed his eyes at the sensation, and does not reject or fuss about it. So (Reader) continued for a few more strokes and moved down to Dan Heng’s face.
Testing the waters, (Reader) makes a few pokes at his cheeks. Dan Heng makes a surprised grunt at first, but does not react any further.
So. Progress..? (Reader) stops poking and moves down to his chin, cupping the soft V-shape with their fingers, thumb rubbing up against his cheek. Dan Heng’s eyes remained closed, but slightly tensed at the newfound touch, but he ultimately leaned into (Reader)’s hand and made a shallow, relaxing sigh. But that ‘sigh’ comes out as some kind of… Purring noise.? Or the small, cute and soft ones that a cat would make.
(Reader) freezes, then resumes again. Who knew dragons could make such noises. Every few strokes and rubs on his cheeks produced similar meowlings, and caused some reaction in his tail - which swayed back and forth in a gradual pace, much like a feline.
Not sure how much time passed, (Reader) figured that this would be a good time to have Dan Heng take a nap and rest his body finally. Only to look down and find the Vidyadhara-being already dozing away, still leaning into their warm, soft touch with his smooth skin. (Reader) smiled to themselves, happy that they could finally have Dan Heng rest and get the sleep he deserved.
Dan Heng made another faint purring noise as he slept, and (Reader) had to hold back snickering.
Ironic how a majestic Vidyadhara could make such adorable noises while being comforted and sleeping soundly.

❀ : toji x female! reader
. synopsis : toji sees the reader’s rare soft side.
꩜ cw : s4w, short fic grumpy! reader, toji & reader are married, toji & reader have a daughter, singing, lullabies
.. wc : 593
-> a/n : i think this is kinda shit & cringe but we go on 🥁. mitski singing in a genius interview inspired this :)
masterlists
Tumblr media
*
toji has always known that you were not exactly…a ray of sunshine. sure, he isn’t either, but you are something else. you were not at all mean or unkind in any way but you are crazy, grumpy, passionate…a ball of fire some would say.
a resting bitch face, hot-tempered, unapologetic, loud…you weren’t exactly who people think of when asked to name a gentle, soft woman.
with the continuation of your relationship with toji, you mellowed out. after all, to be loved is to be changed. but you still had your moments (everyday) and you were still a little grumpy, passionate, crazy, rageful person. but toji knows how to handle you. and he knows you to be a loving person.
even with your pregnancy and birth of your daughter, you still kept your personality, not letting yourself lose your sense of identity in the trials and tribulations of motherhood.
toji loves his daughter, mina, the new addition to your small family and he’s glad to be at home, caring for the both of you for six months. he’s convinced this is what he wants to spend the rest of his life doing. living with his two favourite girls and making them happy.
but one thing he has noticed since mina had been brought home, is that you always insisted on putting her to sleep, without fail. you would also insist on putting her back to sleep if she woke up crying (much to toji’s disapproval). and somehow, you have her asleep in minutes.
he knows it is normal for mothers to want to be around their child, but rarely would he put mina to sleep. you would ask (demand) him to let you hold little baby mina and tell him he could go back to sleep, which he does after ten minutes of persuasion on your end.
toji knows you’re not telling him something, though he does not think that it's a deep, dark secret.
so one night, after you and toji go to calm a fussing mina and you telling (ordering) him to leave, he stands outside with his ear pressed to the door, listening in.
what he hears surprises him greatly.
you were singing.
grumpy, angry, hot-headed you was singing.
your sweet, soft voice billows throughout the room.
‘cause my love is mine, all mine
i love, my, my, my
nothing in the world belongs to me
but my love, mine, all mine, all mine…
toji hears mina’s crying quieten, hears he little babbles and giggles, and then silence. now toji knows how you get little mina to sleep. you beautiful voice soothes her, lulling her into a deep sleep.
despite what others may think about how ‘unsuitable’ your personality was, you were a good mother, a kind and loving soul, perfectly compatible with your daughter.
toji quickly and quietly returns to your shared room, not wanting to be caught eavesdropping. he didn’t want you to know he overheard your sweet melody. you were like a cat, if he startled you after that intimate moment, you would most definitely get angry and embarrassed and probably never do it again.
you walk into the room, satisfied yet tired. it was 3am and you just wanted to sleep.
toji opens the covers for you to climb into and you curl up in his big frame, laying your head between his chest. he holds you close, kissing your forehead to say goodnight. you’re snoring within two minutes and he admires your stupid drooling face, absentmindedly stroking your temple.
toji will keep this newfound secret to himself.

the lads boys as kittens. 🪐 ‧₊˚ xavier
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary: You were living in your new apartment now, a free space for yourself, but maybe it was too free. You weren't quite used to the silence and loneliness of it, so you decided to welcome a little one to your home. After considering many options, a cat seemed adequate: clean, independent, wouldn't take much of your time like a dog… right?
characters: kitty!xavier (other characters will be posted separately), mc as reader.
a/n: cat breeds are selected based on the "Yes, Cat Caretaker" event. If there's any change, it'll be based on the appearance of each breed, but not its personality traits strictly. proofread but if there's any mistake please let me know! (eng isn't my first language).

Tumblr media
Xavier — Ragdoll How did he get to live with you?
You adopted him. He was going to be your first cat, so you wanted to make sure you were choosing the right one, and receiving recommendations from an adoption center was the best idea. You went there and heard of a slightly older cat who hadn't been adopted yet. A single look was enough to know he was the one. His bright blue eyes stared at you, and his paws tried to reach you as you got closer. A little nervous of scaring him, you gently allowed him to sniff your finger, and he then rubbed against your hand. It is not necessary to say you decided you'd give your life for him.
On the way home, the little kitty curled into a puffy ball of fur, sleeping peacefully after feeling safe in your warm arms ♡
Little did you know what this little thing really was !!
Tumblr media
This kitty EATS. A LOT. You can easily win his heart with treats. He can smell them even before you open any can or package, but will wait like the good boy he is, with both front paws stomping cutely on the floor. However, you had to cut back on them because your wallet was starting to suffer the consequences of a gluttonous kitten. Poor thing got upset for a while, but the food was still yummy, so he adapted (he's not that much of a picky eater…)
Eepy baby. He's a sweetheart and always, I repeat, always cuddles to take naps with you. The kind of cat who climbs onto the bed the moment you flop down on it and makes his way between your arms to be cuddled and sleep. Purrs quietly and very softly, and will rub against your hands as he does. Rarely meows, but does it when he's being needy. Has fallen asleep while eating or drinking his warm milk more than once, his little chin all dirty, so you have to clean him (he doesn't like it!).
He follows you everywhere. Whatever you're doing, if you're walking around the house, he'll follow you like a loyal knight. His fluffy tail moves gently against your legs when you're standing, washing the dishes, brushing your teeth, or cooking. Sometimes he expects you to see him (you do) to pick him up (you always do). He's a needy boy! Needs lots and lots of your attention!
Talking about attention, he climbs onto your body when he feels neglected. You were happily cooking, humming the songs on your playlist, chopping vegetables for the new dish you wanted to try- and then oop! The weight of a fluffy hairball snags on the fabric of your hoodie back without warning. "Xavi! Don't move- Don't move!" you urgently exclaimed as you slowly moved back from the hot stove. Can you blame him? He just wanted to spend time with you :(
Great hunter in every shape! A cockroach? He's already smacking it with his paws. A fly? He already jumped to catch it. Mosquitos? He saw them even before you did. If by any chance there's a mouse or rat inside, be sure he's getting rid of it! And he's so fast! (Give him a treat afterwards, he deserves it.)
Grumpy if you wake him up. He hates the vacuum cleaner with his life, and hates it even more if you decide to use it when he's just fallen asleep. When you switched to an automatic one, he smacked it with his angry paws each time it bumped onto him. Doesn't hiss at you, he's too docile for that, but will meow very loudly until you comfort him back to sleep (and give him treats-).
His favorite place to make biscuits is your chest while you're lying down. If you're watching some TV, reading a book, scrolling down your phone, or simply flopped down on the sofa or your bed, he climbs on top of you and makes his way to your chest and starts kneading very gently. He never uses his claws on you, so you allow him to do it, it's his way of bonding with you and relieving some stress after all <3.
Sulkynator 2000. Baby boy gets UPSET to astronomical levels when you even mention other cats. Do NOT play with his little heart like this! :( Why are you watching cat videos if he's right there? He can do tricks too! Or why are you petting the neighbor's dog? He's dirty and too loud! Xavi is clean, he doesn't leave mud on your carpet, and doesn't bark in the middle of the night for no good reason! :(( You'll have to face a moody Xavier for a good time until you soothe his poor feelings.
Tumblr media
It was a quiet Sunday morning. The weather outside was hot, and that woke you up, along with the blinding sun that entered the room from the window in front of the bed. You stirred, kicking the blankets away when a gentle paw touched your cheek.
"Morning, Xavi!" You baby-talked to your little prince cat, who had just woken up by your sudden movements, stirring with you and slowly opening his little blue eyes, struggling to keep them open for too long. "Oh no, what are we gonna do? My prince is too eepy to start the day!" You giggled, taking him in your arms and cuddling him once more, kissing his little face. He didn't even need to convince you to sleep five more minutes, his mere sleepy presence was enough for you to feel lazy again and go back to the bed.
But today was too hot to stay in, and you wanted to change out of your pajamas as soon as possible. With another kiss, you sweet-talked your lazy cat to wake up and have breakfast, but he just purred in response and kept his eyes closed. Accepting the impossible, you just got up, feeling his small claw clinging to your shirt; you couldn't sleep with him anymore, but you couldn't ignore his adorable attempt of keeping you close, so you cradled him like a baby, holding him in your arms and even rocking him a little.
If Xavier could blush, he would definitely do so at that right moment. He was a big cat already! But… your arms were so warm and he was so comfy… That's how you ended up carrying him to the bathroom, brushing your teeth with one hand and holding him with the other, then you made him lie against your shoulder, taking your hair products out.
"Mwraa," he protested when you set him down on the floor outside the bathroom. "I need to take a shower. Wait outside, breakfast will be ready in a minute." It wasn't really breakfast that his meowjesty was requesting, but his comfortable sleeping spot: you! But now he couldn't bring himself to be sleepy again, so he wandered around the apartment lazily, finding a good place in front of the balcony door to sunbathe.
When you came out of the bathroom with your hair still dripping wet, the first thing you saw was that adorable bundle of fur lying on his back with his little paws stretched faaar as he just finished doing the most exhausting job in the world. And maybe he did, carrying all that beauty had to be exhausting!
"My, look what I found!" You crouched down to him with a big smile, tickling his tummy, which he quickly defended by trapping your hand. "Is Xavi the prince enjoying the warm weather? Hm?" He got up in a swift move and rubbed against your legs, his long, fluffy tail almost tickling your nose. You picked him up, peppering his face with kisses before putting him down again. "Let's get breakfast, come on."
He happily followed behind you, passing through your legs when you leaned down to pick his empty bowl from the floor. The good thing with Xavier was that no food went to waste… which was also bad because it meant that tummy seemed to never fill. He meowed only once as he saw you open the wet food package.
"Almost done, Xavi. Wait a second," and he did, his little paw ritual bringing a smile to your face. When you put the plate down, he hurriedly took the first bite. "Enjoy, baby. Ah- I forgot to take out the trash." The hurried sense flooded through your veins as you saw the hour. "Wait for me, I'm back in a minute!" Your hands were quicker to pick up the smelly garbage bag and run out of the complex to dispose of it before the truck came by.
You did it just in time, sighing in relief as you walked back, until you saw an adorable stray kitten playing with a plastic bottle cap between his paws. "Look at you, aren't you having fun?" At the sound of your voice the kitten stopped playing but didn't run away, an act you took as an open invitation to get closer. You fawned over the stray, your voice melting into playful coos as you playfully ruffled its fur.
It wasn't until a loud noise from the street scared the small cat you realized you'd been playing with it for a long time. With a content sigh you dusted your hands off and walked back to the complex. Inside your home, Xavier had already finished his food, waiting patiently around the entry for you to come back, blue eyes locked on the door as if he was afraid to miss your arrival. When he heard the soft click of it, he meowed as a greeting, until… What was that?
"Ah Xavi. I'm back, did you finish your food-?" You hadn't finished your question when his fluffy body jumped right at your arms with an angry growl. It surprised you, honestly, he was always so calm and loving that this behavior only occurred when… Oh.
"Is someone jealous over here? You don't like that I- Ow! Hey!" He didn't scratch you, but he definitely was about to chomp that teasing finger you were wiggling in front of his very upset self. He meowed in protest, trying with all his might to rub himself against you once again! How could you do this? He works so hard keeping his scent on you, and now you come back after a fifteen-minute leave, invading his sensitive nostrils with another's cat scent? Oh no, he wasn't having it.
But you couldn't contain your laughter. He wasn't even scary and wasn't hurting you because he trusted you too much to do that, but he was madly funny when he got like that. "I see, I see. I made Xavier upset. I apologize, baby," you said, cradling him in your arms as you sat on the couch. "How can I get your forgiveness, hm?" Xavier acted like he hadn't heard you, wiggling his tail still in his petty mood, squirming gently in your arms as if trying to get away. "Ah ah ah. Don't you want me to be only yours, your majesty? Gotta stay here for that, then. What about I give you a small catnip treat I got you yesterday?"
His entire expression shifted. Oh well. You were right, of course you were, mm-hmm. He couldn't be mad at you all day either, could he? And now he moved closer to you, licking gently your cheek, bringing a smile to your face. "Now who's a good boy, huh? Of course you are, you'll always be."
Xavier held no grudges against you, he never did. After all, who else on this planet would love him as you did, after facing loneliness for so long? He was your good boy, and he'd be always there for you.

I did it! I can believe the amount of time it took me to finish this, but it's been ages since I last wrote any kind of fanfiction or content for fandoms so I'm a bit nervous. I hope you like it, and if it's the case I'm so happy for that! I'm already working on Rafayel's version so don't miss it <3

Could you please write some fluff between PB Dio/SDC Dio and a wife who is a kind, sweet person?
I imagine it would be an interesting dynamic, someone who is destructive with a person who apologizes in their wake and bakes cookies, ect.
sure, thank you for requesting and i hope you enjoy :3
Tumblr media
Dio Brando
The first time he met you, he thought you were either naive or pretending. No one could be that gentle without some ulterior motive, right? But then you offered him a scarf you knit yourself and asked if he’d eaten anything warm that day.
You cook for him even when he’s grumpy or rude. He’ll sit at the table like a sulking cat, arms crossed, watching as you hum while plating something warm and simple. “You’ll get sick if you don’t eat properly, darling,” you say with a smile that somehow cuts through years of his bitterness.
When Dio destroys something in anger (say, a teacup or a wall), you just quietly sweep it up. “It’s alright, Dio. I’ll make more tea. With honey this time, maybe?”
After he becomes a vampire, you apologize to people on his behalf constantly, even when they’re terrified. He once crushed a man’s wrist for speaking too boldly, and you immediately knelt down and said, “I’m terribly sorry! He’s had a long week.” You even gave the man a handkerchief with little embroidered strawberries on it.
And Dio HATES it. Hates how your sweetness lingers in a room long after he’s tried to make it cold. Hates how people like you and not him. And yet… when he feels the darkest, when his rage turns inward… he finds himself sitting in the kitchen, watching you make muffins, just to calm down.
You once stitched a tear in his cape. He stared at your careful, neat handiwork for a long time and muttered, “…Thank you.” You beamed. “Of course, my love. You’d do the same for me, wouldn’t you?”
He wouldn’t. But the fact that you believe he would is the only reason he hasn't burned the world down yet.
DIO
When DIO made you his bride, it wasn’t out of love. Not at first. He thought a sweet, nurturing presence like you would be a pleasant contrast to the chaos of his followers. But over time, something… shifted.
You aren’t afraid of him, and that’s not because you’re brave- it’s because you love him so naturally that fear never even occurs to you.
He comes back bloodstained from a fight, and you scold him gently: “Don’t ruin your shirt again, DIO, I just washed it. You know how hard it is to get blood out of silk!”
You write him little notes and leave them on his desk:
“You’re doing great, I’m proud of you. But drink some water, okay? <3”
“Left cookies in the study! Don’t eat them all at once!”
He rolls his eyes but eats every single one. And then he hides the napkin you wrapped them in inside a book, unsure why he’s doing it.
You patch up his wounds when he’s regenerating slower. You hum while dabbing the blood from his lip, and he watches you with quiet fascination- soothing, soft, completely opposite his violent world.
One night, you fall asleep curled against his chest while he’s reading. He doesn’t move. He doesn’t want to move. The warmth of your body, your trust, your gentleness... it feels like something he thought was long lost to him.
You once whispered in your sleep: “I love you, DIO.” And he sat there for hours, watching you breathe. The next night, he whispered it back- so quiet even he barely heard it.

sᴜᴍᴍᴀʀʏ: how you relationship formed, came to be & every-day life
→ pre-borderlands ver | post-borderlands ver
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 —
Ironically enough, you work in the hospital cafe which doctors and nurses flood to and their breaks
It’s a pretty easy job seeing as you’re mostly handing doctors their pre-orders, handling coffee and shuffling little pastries into bags
Most are generous tippers too (i.e. the very full glass jar beside the register)
So you mostly enjoy your job, especially seeing as you get to make your own food for free too and most of the hospital staff are down to have a good laugh on their lunches
But one particular doctor is pretty hard for you to read
He has shaggy, blonde hair and a set of growing eye bags beneath his dark irises
He always orders the same thing, so often times you’ll have the meal ready and all you have to do is pour him his coffee but he often goes between wanting to have a small chat and staying completely silent
“[l/n]” Chishiya hums as he walks to the polished, marble counter. His hands rest idly in the deep pockets of his white lab coat as he watches you with a soft gaze.
“Dr. Chishiya” You shoot him a smile “Sorry I’m a bit behind today” Bashfully motioning at the stacked styrofoam containers which are yet to be labelled, you anxiously watch his expression. Some doctors today were a bit grumpy when their food wasn’t ready on time and maybe you lost a couple tips but all in all you can’t really blame them.
“That’s okay” He nods “Where is Nakamoto?” He questions, referencing the other young man who you often work with. Usually, Yuta was behind the counter and slinging out orders like there was no tomorrow. His voice usually replaced the soft radio which was playing now in his absence (mostly singing any thelastrockstars or larcenciel song).
“He called in sick… I didn’t realise how much he actually helped” An airy laugh passes through your lips as you get started on Chishiya’s order. In your defence, the doctor was earlier than usual and you were busy preparing the orders for the doctors that often came before him.
“Is he a troublemaker?” He asks, watching how you precisely create a nutritious bento box for him. It’s impressive that you’re able to remember the order of over 50 staff members without breaking a sweat, though, Chishiya supposes he remembers things that are quite a bit more important than the correct lunch order.
“Oh no! Yuta is funny… He just talks a lot” You smile as you continue putting together his lunch “And he lies a lot too, but it’s funny” You bite your tongue as you foolishly repeat yourself. In all honestly, this is the longest conversation you’ve had with Chishiya outside of ‘are you busy today?’. It’s uncharted territory for yourself to blabber with the cat-like man.
“Oh, you’re on first name basis?” The questions flusters you as you scramble to close the lid of the styrofoam box. You know what he’s hinting at as other nurses and doctors have teased you about it before (mostly the older women) but being stuck behind a counter for many days of your week has caused both you and Yuta to drop the formalities.
“Um - it’s nothing like that” You slide the box across the counter and peel the sanitary gloves from your fingers “Working together so often kind of made it awkward to continue to act so formal, you know?” You laugh is jittery as you swipe a cardboard cup from the stack beside the coffee machine. You don’t bother to glance at Chishiya as you’re sure the sight would make your hands tremble.
You’re not sure why the man has such a hold over you. Maybe it’s your people-pleaser jumping out or the fact that he’s undeniably handsome and is staring a hole straight into your head as he presses on about Yuta and yourself.
A few awkward seconds pass by as you prepare the coffee. Chishiya begins rustling with his wallet as he presumably clinks a few extra coins into the filling jar as your back in turned. Funnily enough, Chishiya prefers a concerning amount of sugar in his coffee which in all honestly makes you feel a bit ill as you prepare it.
“Sorry, again, Dr. Chishiya” You repeat as you carefully slide the sleeve onto the cup so the doctor doesn’t burn his fingers while holding his drink.
“Don’t worry” He replies with a ghost of an appreciative smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
“I promise to have everything prepare tomorrow!”
He scoffs, lightheartedly, as he grasps his items “Just call me Chishiya, okay?”
That whole scenario plays in your head the next few days as he comes to collect his orders
Yuta obviously notices you’ve dropped the “Dr.” when referring to him as almost every doctor here prefers to be called Dr. [Name]
Not to mention, he gossips with the other staff so word spreads around that you and Chishiya have gotten closer
Which to yourself is just odd as enough drama happens on a daily basis in a hospital so why is you dropping his title in Chishiya’s name such big news?
Does everyone know that Chishiya is unsociable??
Not to mention that the older women have gotten 10x worse with their prodding
𝗔𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗢𝗨𝗧 —
Chishiya decides that if he ever wants to make a move with you he’s just going to have to suck it up and do it at the cafe
For months he’s tried to catch you when you’re leaving or even hoping that you’re alone for another day - because to his luck Yuta was working alone one day and wouldn’t drop the subject
“You know, Dr. Chishiya” Yuta prods as he slides the coffee across the counter. Chishiya raises a brow as he watches the flamboyant man smile cheshire-ly.
“If you like [y/n], you better tell her soon because she’s going on a date with my friend next week” Yuta very obviously takes his time sliding Chishiya’s meal across the counter, gaging the annoyance that causes Chishiya’s eyebrow to twitch.
“Cause Niragi really, really like her!”
Yeah, Chishiya’s not surprised you have dates lined up
But the exchange was like a slap of reality hitting his face
So, the next morning you’re setting up the cafe when Chishiya comes rushing in (walking the tiniest bit faster than usual)
“You’re early!” You greet as you set aside the broom you were using to brush up the crumbs that weren’t caught yesterday. Very rarely doctors would visit the cafe in the very opening hours, more so visitors and interns doing coffee runs.
“Sorry… Is this a bad time for you?” He asks as he slows his pace. You shake your head as you grasp the broom firmly between your fingers to ease any apparent anxiousness.
“No, did you want a coffee or something? We got new pastries if you want on-“
“No” Chishiya states as he ends your small blabbering “No, I came to ask you something”
Oh. Odd. You can’t help but widen your eyes as you stare curiously at the doctor. You can’t help but notice his usually neat ponytail was sagging and strands of hair were messily framing his face. He had practically jogged (shocking, really) from his car before Yuta could disrupt your peaceful moment, so strong gusts of wind had caused his usually neat hairstyle to look unkempt.
“I’m free on Saturday, please meet me at the hospital entrance after your shift” He asks awkwardly, grasping at a piece of paper that was crumpled in his lab coat pocket. He hastily hands you the paper, very much less suave than he hoped to come across.
“Um… Okay” You we’re dying to ask if it was a date, but you couldn’t allow yourself the embarrassment.
“This is my number” He explains as you grasp the paper “I want to take you on a date”
That was pretty much it
Chishiya took his leave after , mostly to avoid any embarrassment
Saturday wasn’t for another three days and the anticipation as well as the fact that you’ll have to see him later today, the next day and the day after that caused a wire of nerves to bundles in your stomach
Never mind the fact that all you wanted to do was to text your friend Kuina but knowing her she’d blab about it and Yuta was definitely out the question
So you bite your tongue for the next few days until Saturday
The day is nerve wrecking when it comes
You’re dressed a bit nicer, wearing a nice pair of shoes that you hope doesn’t get drenched in coffee and an extra shirt stuffed in your bag to change into before leaving
Thankfully, Yuta served Chishiya so you didn’t have to look at him until now
Through the massive glass wall encasing the cafe, you can see Chishiya standing outside the cafe doors in his normal clothes. He’s wearing a pair of baggy cargos and has a black jacket shrugged on - presumably a black top too
Yuta allows you to get away a bit quicker, probably because he can see the way you’re staring straight at Chishiya through the glass windows. For once you’re happy he keeps his mouth shut as you’re able to swiftly change shirts and walk out without him saying something
“Sorry you had to wait on me” It’s a bit awkward as you slowly close the door behind you, attempting to diffuse any awkwardness by lingering around the closing door. Chishiya takes note of your nerves as he slides his phone into his back pocket.
“it’s okay, you’re actually a little bit early” He nods as he begins to walk away. You quickly fall in pace, watching his face as he continues to speak.
“I hope you don’t mind riding in my car” He motions to the keys he had fished from one of the many deep pockets of his trousers. You dismiss his worry with a shake of your head, watching as a particularly nice car flashes as he clicks his keys.
You knew Chishiya had some money, especially because his mother and father were very high-ranking individuals but it never really visualised until the silver, clean and very expensive car came into view.
DATE —
Maybe Chishiya’s game is a bit rusty
as he second guesses himself the minute he pulls up to the local museum
his friend Kuina told him that the new botanic section was a TOTAL game changer because when she took Ann, they both thought it was so romantic
“I hope you liked museums… We can go somewhere else if you want?” Chishiya’s fingers drum against the steering wheel nervously. However, a wave of relief washes over him as you smile.
“I love the museum!” You reassure him with a cheesy smile. Chishiya’s nods, unbuckling his seatbelt as he practically races out of the car.
the date goes by smoothly
and lucky for Chishiya the new addition was a total surprise for you
“Let’s go to the botanic room” Chishiya announces as he walks away from a particularly detailed painting. You can’t help but gasp, raising your brows as you stare at Chishiya dumbfounded.
“There’s a botanic room?” You ask, surprised that you had no clue of the new addition. The museum was your go-to for a destresser and the thought of walking through a room of beautiful, delicate flowers after a particularly stressful day excited you to no end (life of an adult).
“Yeah, you didn’t know?” Chishiya asks with a slight laugh. You nod as you quickly follow behind him, ignoring how your arm grazes against his. He walks leisurely beside you with his hands stuffed deep into his pockets.
“I thought you loved the museum though?” He teases, leading you towards a glass door. A long corridor follows as it leads to the specialised building. The sound of running water, chirps of artificial wildlife and a growing humidity spikes your excitement.
Pure astonishment flushes over your features as the doors swing open. Beautiful, vibrant flowers and long branches decorated with the most beautiful shade of green greets you as you walk in. It’s almost as if an amazing tropical holiday was condensed into one room.
“Oh my God..” You speak to yourself, arms grasping out to grab Chishiya’s. He hums, ignoring how he almost trips over himself as you point at an extravagant plant. He watches how your face contorts as you take in the scenery.
Maybe Kuina was right.
𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣 —
Speaking of, how you and Chishiya didn’t realise you both had a mutual friend
and it being Kuina no less!!!???
She finds it hilarious
anyway!!
chishiya… surprisingly romantic
flowers, gifts, holidays, dates
you name it, he’s done it
maybe it’s his romance books (which he will NEVER admit to reading) rubbing off on him… but he’s a darn good boyfriend
despite working long shifts he ALWAYS makes time for you
whether it be dropping by on his breaks, ordering delivery for you when he can’t be home for dinner, taking holiday hours just to spend a few days with you
he’ll do it
his field of work is pretty emotional and at times he struggles to flicker between switching off his emotions and turning them back on
and on days like that where he feels pretty robotic, coming home to you and having a cuddle eases his mind just a little
sometimes he feels that he’s not expressive enough for you and sue to that he can either come a bit too closed off or weirdly clingy
like a cat that wants you to pet them but also runs away when you actually try to
he tries to work on it though
lavish gifts and holidays can only do so much, you know?
speaking of gifts
his love language is defo gift giving
he struggles with words and displays of affection at times (mostly due to his parents) and he finds it easier to materially show his love to you
the tiffany bracelet you looked at once? done. A perfume that you tried and said it smelt nice? 100ml and no size smaller. Fancy a specific dish? Table booked at the nearest specialised restaurant.
it can be a little exhausting trying to match his gift giving (pay-grade difference is astonishing)
all he wants in return is a kiss or hug 😭 please give him something
he adores silent reading
just chilling on a sofa with a nice cup of tea, cuddled up with a blanket thrown over his lap and complete silence as you both read (i.e. he reads and you sleep)
favourite dates: cafe, museum, picnic, movie nights
when you go out you’re practically dripping in designer labels
and that cheap car you had? your next birthday it was gone
yuta almost had a heart attack when he saw you coming into work with a dior sweatshirt on
“It’s gonna get stained! Are you actually insane?” He cries as he grips at the baggy material. The soft cream colour complimented your skin so beautifully, you couldn’t bare the thought of not wearing it.
“I don’t know why you even work here anymore, can’t Chishiya just buy you whatever you want?”
your friends are so jealous but so happy for you
esp when they find out that after you last fight with chishiya you came home to a gift card, cartier ring, bouquet of flowers and a particularly expensive bag on the bed
with a sorry note lol
you also discovered how chishiya secretly lives for reality tv
every time you watch something he groans and complains that you’re watching trashy tv again
but trust that he will be keeping notes on who everyone is
he’s so sneaky about wanting to watch it too!
“[y/n], that show you like is coming on” He points towards the tv with the remote, shrugging ever so casually at the tv menu.
yeah, as if he purposely didn’t check the time and saw it was coming on in 5 mins
anyways chishiya is a dork and needs help expressing himself

Cafe cafe owner Yoongi x Female Reader
Summary: With only a few dollars left to your name you weren’t sure how you were going to survive. Thankfully, Suga’s Cat Cafe came to the rescue offering you a job when you needed it most. Not only did it pay decently it also came with perks like unlimited free coffee and a cute, but grumpy cafe owner named Yoongi. At first you believed it was him that saved you at your worst, but as time went on you started to wonder…who rescued who?
Warnings: Mentions of depression, suicide and self harm, going to therapy and taking meds, anxiety, lots of angst, bullying, injury, getting drunk, talking about consent and being taken advantage of in a sexual way, tiny hint of smut
Word count: 3,904
Part 1 here
It’s taken waaayyyy longer than I planned, but here is part 2 finally. I hope you like it and thank you for the patience! Tag list: @captainchrisstan
🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
It had been almost a month since the incident at the cafe. Thankfully (or maybe not) Yoongi had been keeping a low profile since then. You had only seen him once and it was just for a brief moment while he had to sign some tax documents or something. His eyes briefly met yours before he quickly scurried away out of sight once again.
“You know you can go talk to him.”, Jimin said one day coming up to you and nearly making you jump up out of your own skin.
“About what?”, you gasped clutching at your chest.
“I don’t know… the weather, the game, or…whatever happened between you two that night.”, he replied.
“He didn’t tell you?”
He shook his head, “Not fully. He said something about being the biggest idiot and screwing everything up. I have my ideas about what happened, but I’m not one to pry.”
You gave him some major side eye because you were sure pry was his middle name. He continued with a laugh, “I just know that since you started working here I’ve seen a different Yoongi. One that I haven’t seen in years. I’m not going to push you or anything or tell you how to live your life, but I’m just going to say that I hope you don’t give up on him…not yet anyways.”
Before you could question him any more he was already running upfront and out of sight.
Later that evening after your shift was over and everyone else had gone home you stood outside the door of Yoongi’s apartment trying to will yourself to knock on the door. All evening Jimin’s words stuck with you and you thought just maybe he was on to something.
“It’s okay. Just knock. He is just your boss…that you have a major crush on maybe even love. No big deal.”, you mumbled to yourself. “Don’t look at me like that.”, you grumbled to Suga who was curiously watching you from a few feet down the hall.
Your hand was raised just as the door swung open slamming against you knocking you back a little.
“Ow”, you groaned feeling an instant bump form on your forehead.
“Jeeze fuck why do you keep creeping around like this? Are you okay Y/N?”, Yoongi spat coming over closer to inspect the damage.
“I’m okay I’m okay.”, you reassured him.
“Is there something you need?”, he asked gently pressing on the tender spot.
“No I uh…I just wanted to talk.”, you whispered, “About what happened after Jungkook’s show.”
“Y/N, there is nothing to talk about. I apologize for my actions that night. I had too much to drink and was out of line. It was very unprofessional of me and it will not happen again. Going forward we are strictly on a business only relationship.”, he sternly replied.
“No!”, you exclaimed startling him some more, “I mean um I just thought we could talk about it. It wasn’t…it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. It was just you know we were both drinking and I didn’t want there to be any misunderstandings or regrets or something like that.”
“Y/N…I would understand if you no longer wanted to work here. You can give Jimin your resignation. I sincerely apologize for my actions. It won’t happen again.”, he said with a curt nod before closing the door and heading back up to his apartment.
That did not go at all like you had planned so you accepted defeat giving Suga a light pat on the head before walking to the front door.
“Hey Jimin.”, you sighed one morning many weeks later. Things between you and Yoongi had gotten even more awkward after you tried confronting him leading you to ask Jimin for help and he agreed to meet you at a cafe near your apartment.
“Morning Y/N!”, he smiled.
You had no idea how someone could be so happy at all hours of the day.
“Sooooo you and Yoongi make up yet?”, he questioned.
You scoffed, “No not exactly. Things are actually worse now.”
He chuckled, “Yeah Yoongi can be a handful sometimes.”
“Yeah that’s kind of why I wanted to meet up with you. I was wondering if you could tell me more about him. Like you know his past and stuff. Maybe…I don’t know maybe it’ll help me better understand him and then I can…I don’t know figure out where to go from there.”
Jimin looked at you with soft eyes, “Most people run away and stop trying to get to know him so I’m glad you’re putting in so much effort Y/N.” He looked like he might cry which made you want to cry too.
“Well get to explaining then.”, you laughed trying to lighten up the mood.
“I mean there’s not a whole lot to tell. Yoongi was a shy quiet kid. I first met him when we were in grade school.”
Your mouth dropped open, “Wait! You’ve known him that long?!”
Jimin laughed, “Yeah. He was shy, quiet, kept to himself, but kind and sweet. I took him under my wing and showed him my ways.”
“I thought he was older than you?”
“Shhh Y/N, that’s not important to the story. He was a good kid. Did well in school. Loved music and basketball, not much has changed obviously. I think it was his senior year of high school when everything kind of went down hill.”
“What happened?”, you questioned in awe like you were being told the most interesting story ever.
“Yoongi had always had this bully. This kid gave him a hard time for years. One day, when I wasn’t at school, he took things too far and him and Yoongi got into a fight near one of the staircases at school. Yoongi ended up getting pushed and fell down the stairs. He busted his shoulder pretty badly. Three days later was the big championship basketball game where a ton of college scouts were going to be. Yoongi was expected to be a top prospect, but because of his shoulder he flopped. He tried his best, but it was the worst game of his life and he lost any chance of a scholarship.”
“Wow that uh that’s terrible.”
Jimin took a sip of his coffee, “Yeah and that was just the beginning.”
“It gets worse?!”, you gasped.
He nodded, “Yeah…so Yoongi did end up getting into college on his own. Originally he was majoring in medicine. He wanted to become a pediatrician or something. But then he met someone…her name was Mia. Yoongi never had a girlfriend before. He’d never even been on a date so when this girl started showing interest in him he lost it. She was his everything and he did everything he could to please her. Which included switching majors from medicine to music production. She had this whole thing about wanting to date an idol or something.”, he shook his head, “So of course Yoongi did it. And of course his parents were very VERY upset about that to the point they pretty much disowned him. To this day they still barely speak to each other which has always been hard on him. So a couple years pass and things are okay. Yoongi ended up proposing to Mia and she said yes. Yoongi graduates and gets a job at a small independent record label. He was genuinely happy and I was happy for him.”
You smiled at seeing the way Jimin was smiling thinking about his friend being happy, but then his features turned into a frown. He continued, “Mia grew upset with the fact that Yoongi wasn’t a big name producer. He wasn’t working with famous idols and other artists. Wasn’t being invited to award shows or major events. He wasn’t important enough. Wasn’t rich enough. He wasn’t good enough for her. So she found someone that was. She broke up with Yoongi the night before their wedding. He was beyond devastated.”
You were crushed as if you had been there too, “Oh my god that’s awful. No wonder he’s the way that he is.”
Jimin nodded in agreement, “Yeah he pretty much just shut down after that. He stopped talking to any of his friends, even me. I’d call him every day, but he never answered. He rarely left his apartment. He didn’t trust anyone. He got really really depressed. Then one day…”, he sighed before taking a moment to collect his thoughts, “One day I got a call from his brother. Yoongi was in the hospital. His brother had found him unresponsive in the bathtub. They weren’t sure if he was going to make it or not.”, Jimin sniffled followed by a few sniffles of your own before he continued, “Thankfully though he pulled through. He spent some time in a mental health facility then moved to seeing a psychiatrist and taking medication. Those things helped with the depression aspect, but he still struggled. He didn’t really go out much. He had a few relationships, but they always ended badly. They never wanted to be patient with him. They never gave Yoongi a chance. One day he decided he wanted to open up a cat cafe and use it as a way to help cats find loving homes. He doesn’t love for other living beings to feel lonely or unwanted so he really focuses on that. And then you got hired and here we are!”
You sipped on your tea while trying to process everything you just heard. You had no idea that he had been through so much and you had struggled with your own mental health before so you knew how difficult that could be.
Jimin reached for your hand and gave it a little squeeze, “Y/N, I’m not trying to dump all of this on you or make you feel guilty or anything, but ever since you started working at the cafe I noticed a different…a new Yoongi. He smiles more, he laughs more, he’s more talkative and open. I mean you got him to go to Jungkook’s show. I made $15 from Namjoon off of a bet because of you.”, he laughed.
“So…so what do I do Jimin? I…just…I think it’s all ruined.”
He quickly shook his head, “It’s not Y/N. Please give it another chance. Just talk to him.”
“Jimin I already tri-“, you said, but he cut you off, “Try again. Please. One more time. I can see so much life being brought back to Yoongi when you’re around. Talk to him one more time. Be gentle, but firm. He’ll listen.”
“Alright.”, you sighed, “I’ll talk to him.”
It was a week later when you finally had the chance to talk to Yoongi again. The cafe had closed early for an employee appreciation outing. Of course Yoongi was “busy” and couldn’t attend, but handed Jimin his credit card to pay for all of the activities and dinner for the group before he headed back up to his apartment. Jimin so kindly came up with a story about how you were going to have to miss out on the evening, but that you will be there in spirit giving you the opportunity to speak with Yoongi since no one else would be in the building.
You grabbed dinner from Yoongi’s favorite noodle spot a few blocks over and walked it back to the cafe. This time you were firm and confident when you knocked on his apartment door. You did slightly falter a little when he first opened it, but you regained your composure after noticing the surprise on his face when he saw you.
“I brought Jajangmyeon!”, you exclaimed with a smile while holding up the bag.
“Aren’t you supposed to be out with the rest of the team?”, he questioned.
“Nope, according to Jimin I ate a moldy bagel this morning and am unable to attend so my evening is free now.”
“Y/N, I don-“ he started, but you stopped him, “The foods getting cold. Should we go up and eat at your place?”
He silently nodded while stepping aside to let you up. His home reminded you a lot like him. It was soft and comfy and cozy. He had a candle burning that smelled like cinnamon and vanilla and somehow that just suited him. He offered you a drink which you happily accepted and the two of you began in to eat in silence at the table. When the meals were finished you cleaned up and walked over to the couch, “So should we watch a movie or maybe the basketball game? It’s like a championship right?”
“Y/N, why are you doing this?”, he mumbled taking a seat next to you.
“Doing what?”
“You know what. Skipping the outing. Bringing food here. Acting like nothing happened. I think maybe you should just go.”
Jimin’s words of gentle, but firm replayed in your head and you stood up and brushed yourself off. Slowly you started walking towards the door, “If you truly don’t want me here I’ll leave. I won’t force you to accept my company. I just…I just want you to know that I really do like Yoongi. I like you a lot and I never meant for that night after the show to seem like I didn’t. It just wasn’t the best time for that. I want to get to know you more. I want to spend time l with you and do whatever makes you happy. I just hope that one say you can accept that.” When he didn’t respond you continued to the door, but just before you were able to grab the handle he grabbed your other hand into his. Silently he pulled you back to the couch to sit down.
His hand was still tightly griping yours and you were entirely sure if he even realized it. He seemed deep in thought. After what felt like an eternity he began to speak, “I’m terrified Y/N. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt like this about someone and I’m terrified I’m going to wake up one morning and it will all be gone. You don’t know what you’ve done to me.”
“I’m sorry.”, you whispered, but he shook his head. He went on, “I mean what you’ve done to me in the best way. I don’t know if I can even put it into words.”
You squeezed his hand a little more, “Please try Yoongi. Do the best that you can. Help me to understand you.”
He cleared his throat, “You just uh I don’t know. It was like from the moment I first met you I felt something. Kind of like a burning want I guess… a want to know you more, a want to spend time with you and make you smile and laugh. I wanted you to joke around with me like you do Jimin and draw me funny pictures like you do for Taehyung. I wanted you to come to me when you needed something or when you were sad. I wanted so much with you.”
He ran a shaky hand through his hair. He seemed to really be struggling, “That um that night we first met. You know when you came back into the cafe after closing.”, he said now scratching the back of his neck nervously, “I um…that folder of papers that I was carrying…that was…those papers were things like a will and all of the important documents for the cafe and instructions on what to do with my apartment and with Suga.”
You bit your lip to hide the gasp you wanted to release. You had an idea of where he was going with his story and you could feel your stomach twisting. You gripped his hand even harder nearly leaving a bruise.
He cleared his throat once more, “I um yeah I had planned to take my life that night. I was leaving everything in an easy to find place for Jimin. I had my mind made and was set on it. And then…and then I ran into you and you rescued me. You didn’t let my grumpiness get to you. You smiled and you talked about music. I saw the way Suga acted towards you.”, he shook his head and chuckled, “I always thought that love at first sight was such Hollywood bullshit…that is until it happened to me. I still had bad thoughts from time to time, but you made me want to get better. I wanted to be here for you…to be with you. And then I went and messed it all by kissing you.”
Sniffling you wiped away the tears that had collected on your cheeks, “Th-thank you for telling me all of that. But you didn’t mess anything up Yoongi. Not even in the slightest so please don’t think that. I want you. I want you here with me. I want to be with you too.”
You released the death grip you still had on his hand and scooted a little closer to him. Gently you brushed the stray hair out of his eyes.
“Kiss me Yoongi.”, you said barely loud enough to hear.
“Y/N we don’t hav-“
“Please Yoongi. I want it and I know you do too.”
He didn’t have to be told again so he leaned in kissing you firmly yet softly in a way that no one else has ever done before.
After pulling away to check for any negative reaction and when you didn’t get one you went back in for another kiss after seeing nothing but a gummy smile.
Those kisses lead into roaming hands which quickly moved into you straddling his lap. His hands firmly planted on your hips.
When you reached for the hem of his shirt to lift it up he froze. You could feel his body tense up making you swiftly pull back.
“I…I’m sorry. I should’ve checked with you first. I was moving too quickly. We don’t have to go any further if you don’t want to.”, you said quickly trying to get off his lap, but he held you in place.
Resting his forehead against yours he sighed, “No I…I want to. I really do. It’s just um…it’s just I’m afraid you’ll get scared.”
“Scared of what?”, you questioned.
He looked at you with wide eyes, tears threatening to fall, “Of me. You’ll be scared of me. Of my past. Of what that could mean for the future. Just like the others.”
Frantically you shook your head, “I could never be scared of you Yoongi. I promise.”
He melted into your touch a little more. “Okay.”, he nodded before standing up and carrying you with him. You squealed both in surprise and excitement as he brought you to his bedroom and softly laid you on the bed.
The two of you returned to your earlier actions as your kisses became more intense and your touches more intimate. Once again you reached for the hem of his shirt. He tensed but didn’t stop you and allowed you to remove the garment and toss it to the floor beside the bed.
You took in the sight of him with his soft tummy and pale skin that was marked with faint scars. Most appeared to be many years old except for a few that seemed to be more recent. You took him in feeling anger and sadness of your own for all of the hurt that he must’ve gone through to gain those scars.
“I…I know it’s hard to look at.”, he said already reaching for his shirt on the floor so he could cover up. You stopped him pulling him in for a kiss instead, “You’re not scary Yoongi. You’re beautiful to me. Everything about you is ethereal. And each one of these scars.”, you said as you kissed over the markings, “Is a reminder that things got tough, but you pulled through. You’re still here. And there are so many people including myself that are thankful for that. And we are here for you. You don’t have to hurt like this any more.”
That seemed to set something off in him. His lips crashed into yours and he helped you out of your clothing before pushing you back up against the head board.
After what seemed like hours and hours of pure bliss Yoongi dropped down onto the bed next to you before he curled into your side resting his head on your shoulder. His arms lazily wrapped around your waist. You could feel the heat from his breath against your neck while you carded your fingers through his damp hair.
“W-was that okay?”, he questioned nervously, “It’s been a while since I’ve done that.”, he added with a small laugh.
“Everything was perfect.”, you whispered trying to reassure him, “You’re perfect Yoongi…in every way.”
The compliment only embarrassed him further causing him to bury his face into your skin even more as a way to try and soothe himself. “Please don’t say things like that Y/N.”, he mumbled into your skin, “Please don’t say sweet loving things that you don’t mean. I don’t know if my heart can handle any more hurt.”
It was then that you realized he was crying.
“Hey.”, you softly said using your finger to tilt his chin up to look at you, “I mean it. I really do Yoongi. You’re perfect to me.“
He shook his head, “I’m the farthest thing from that. I’ll end up hurting you one day. You’ll leave like everyone else…because of me. I just know it. So please don’t think I’m perfect. It’ll make it less painful for you when I inevitably ruin everything like I always do.”
You let him cry for a while. You knew he needed it. But when it sounded like his sniffles were subsiding and his breathing was leveling out and turning into soft snores you pulled his hand up to your lips giving it a kiss and interlocking your fingers tightly with his, “I love you so much Min Yoongi and no matter how hard you try to chase me away…I’ll always fight to be here with you. We’ll fight to be here together.”
He nuzzled into you and placed one last goodnight kiss to your neck, “I love you too Y/N.”
After that you laid awake staring at the ceiling thinking about the days events. You couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought that Yoongi thinks you were the one that rescued him. The one who stopped him that night and gave him something to live for. You were content with letting him think that though. He had no idea that he also saved you. He gave you a job which helped keep a roof over your head and food on your plate. You met new friends and found a love you didn’t know you could feel. You hadn’t realized it until now, but Yoongi coming into your life gave you a purpose. He also gave you a want. A want to move on and start over and a want to intertwine his life with yours. Without him and his little cat cafe you weren’t sure where you would’ve ended up.
And then when Suga jumped up on the bed filling the room with loud purrs as you scratched the top of his head you slowly drifted in and out of sleep while pondering the question of who rescued who?

"please take care of yourself, i wanna keep you for a long time"
That screams Pack omega Max with his rookies
so i changed the dialogue a tiny but to make it fit better, but besides that this is just pure pure cuddly fluff!
Max fussed over the nest, which was a lot bigger than his usual fluffy nests were. But then again, he had to fit a lot of people comfortably inside today. He grumbled a little, seeming unable to keep one edge of the blanket from sliding out of the careful folds it had been pleaded in, but his slighty soured, grumpy scent lightened the moment there was a polite knock on the door.
"Excuse me? Can we come in?" Ollie's polite voice sounded, making Max snort a little. Rookies were always so polite, the seasoned drivers would just barge in unannounced by now.
"Yes, come in." Max purred a bit, making sure the pillows where all fluffed up properly. He was sitting cross legged in the centre of the nest, smiling a little as the rookies came filing in, all standing a little nervously at the edge of the nest. Max patted the covers next to him once and Kimi came bounding in almost immediately, purring softly as he nosed against Max's outstretched hand like a little, needy cat. "All of you!" Max urged on as some others hesitated.
Gabi climbed in next, teasingly nudging his shoulder against Max's and just grinning at the soft, playful growl Max gave him in return. He couldn't be mad at any of them, not when they were just rookies looking for some love from their Pack Omega.
"Ollie!" Kimi pouted, making the young Alpha crawl in too to snuggle up against him. Max was relatively certain there was something going on between the two, but he didn't want to push for information, not yet anyways. Max reached over to stroke Ollie'a hair a bit, scenting him, as Jack made himself cosy next to Gabi, the two young Alphas nudging and growling a little. Max let out a soft noise at them, he was all for playfighting, but right now he preferred to keep his nest perfect for cuddles thank you very much!
All this left just Isack standing at the edge of the nest, looking at them warily. Max sighed.
"Whatever bullshit Yuki tried to make you believe, he was just joking." he chuckled. "Come on, it's just some cuddles!" he added, cooing softly as he poked Isack's leg with his foot, just about managing to do so stretched out from where the others had already dared to snuggle closer to him. Isack huffed a bit, cheeks turning a sweet pink, but he crawled in, making Max purr happily as he settled right on top of Max to nose into his chest.
"See? This is nice." Max smiled. He had vowed to do this with all rookies since he became Pack Omega, making sure they all knew how nice Pack cuddles were, and that they could trust Max to be there for him.
Just anything to make sure they didnt have the same shitty rookie experience Max had gotten himself.
"This is nice." Gabi hummed contentedly as Max nosed the tops of their heads, making sure they all smelled a little bit like him, like Pack. Kimi yawned into the crook of Max's neck, the young driver not hesitant at all about the cuddling.
" 's very nice." he confirmed, purring softly. Max chuckled, trying his very best to wrap his arms around the five of them, pulling them all as close as humanly possible. Isack's chin was digging into his sternum a little uncomfortably, but with a little nudge, Isack shifted to make Max more comfortable instantly.
"You all have to promise me one thing." Max spoke up. Five pairs of eyes - well, four, Kimi still had his face tucked in Max's neck but let out a hum in acknowledgement - stared up at him, all so innocent, so kind. Max sighed, feeling so protective of them all, wanting to wrap them all up in bubblewrap and make sure they would never get hurt, but he knew in their line of work, that was nearly impossible.
"Please all take care of yourselves, and each other." he whispered softly, soft smile breaking out on his lips. "I want to keep all of you for a very long time."
The rookies, if possible, pressed even closer, rumbling and purring and even pup squeaking a little as Max purred back at them. He kept them all close in his nest, away from the chaos, and watched over them as they all slowly dozed off.
They'd all be fine. Max vowed to make sure of that.

Cherished Moments | Finnick Odair x Reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
thg masterlist / inbox
summary: Finnick is trying to get you to relax, and it works maybe a little too well tags / content warnings: mostly fluff, small injury, lovesick Finnick, grumpy!reader x sunshine!Finnick, insinuations of violence, no use of y/n word count: 1.2k
requested by anon: I love your writing!!! What do you think a grumpy reader × sunshine finnick would be like? Love the back cat gf golden retriever bf trope haha and I feel like finnick would be obsessed with someone who was mean to everyone BUT him! Feel free to ignore if you don't feel inspired, I'll read everything you write anyway!!
a/n: Can someone pls let me know if they actually manage to find the request after I've posted them I have no clue if these are getting through. Ngl this one was a struggle for me but once I found the right idea it came pouring out. Do they even have darts in the Hunger Games universe? Well, they do now. Keep sending me requests I genuinely love doing them!!
Tumblr media
“Come on, I know you can do it! I’ve seen you throw knives, this is pretty much the same thing, only smaller.” Finnick was trying to encourage you, but you weren’t easy to win over. 
“I’m telling you, I can’t. This is just different. The darts are so much smaller and lighter, it throws me off balance.” You were at a party in District 13, well, calling it a party would be generous. 
“Just try. I’ll help you come on. I promise it’ll be fun.” He couldn't hide his smile at your antics, but he also knew if anyone was able to convince you, it was him.
“Fine, but if something goes wrong it's on you.” You looked him in the eyes, and could see a spark of light inside them, and you wouldn't admit it, not with all the other people in the room, but it warmed your heart a little.
“It’ll be fine, what’s the worst that could happen” He asked you, and you almost scoffed at the question.
“I could hit someone, and then everyone will hate me even more than they already do”
“They don't hate you, they just don't know you the way I do.” Whenever someone would ask him what he saw in you, he would always be dumbfounded. Sure, you had a hard exterior, but when someone has gone through as much in their life as you did, were you really to blame? No, he didn't understand the question, because, to him, you were perfect. Whether you were sulking at breakfast for having to leave the bed or smiling at him because they were serving your favourite dish for dinner, he would take anything you gave him. 
“Are you telling me that you, the victor of the 70th Hunger Games, are afraid of hurting someone with a tiny dart?” He was challenging you, and it was working.
“I'm not afraid, I just don't want anything to go wrong.” The way your voice softened around him made his heart beat faster for you and sometimes, he swore you knew and were doing it on purpose.
“You won’t, just throw it straight into the board.”
Finnick is standing behind you, grinning like he’s just won some sort of lottery while he guides your arm up for you, you can feel his breath on your neck before he whispers “Come on love, do it for me.” You’ve never been able to deny him, to your own annoyance at times, so you do as he says.
The dart flies through the air, and it doesn't hit the board, but it comes relatively close. So you throw a second dart and it hits the board, but you don’t manage to score any points just yet. As you throw another one, it manages to hit the board, but only for a little while before it falls to the floor. You throw your hands up in defeat before saying “See, told you I couldn't do it.” But Finnick hasn't given up, in you, he would never give up.
“That’s nonsense, you just have to try again, be patient.” He walks over to collect your darts and hands them back to you. He steps behind you again, guiding you into the right position before speaking.
“Just close your eyes, imagine you’re throwing them at Snow.” It makes you laugh and he can feel your muscles relax. He would always feel so proud of himself when he made you laugh, he didn't mind that you don't do it often, it would only feel like so much more of an achievement.
You do as he says, closing your eyes and taking a deep breath right before you throw the dart, hitting it right in the bullseye. You throw another, hitting the bullseye again. But you miss the board with the next one when Finnick leaves a small kiss on your shoulder, and your breath hitches. You can feel his body moving from behind you, and focus to throw another dart. It’s only when you hear an exclamation of pain coming from right in front of you that you snap open your eyes, you would recognize it anywhere. In front of you was Finnick, standing right next to the board with one of his hands clutched in the other, and when you take a closer look, you can see the dart that is stuck in the back of Finnick's hand.
“Fuck, I’m so sorry are you okay.” He would never tell you this, but he doesn't even mind that it happened, seeing you being sweet on him so openly, it makes him forget anything even happened in the first place.
“I'm fine sweetheart.” there is a strain in his voice, and he knows you can hear it too from the way your brows furrow in regret. You knew he wasn't trying to be tough for you, no, you had moved past that years ago. he was trying to not make you worry, it was something he would always do no matter how much pain he was in. But you were worried, because in contrast to all those other times, this time it was your fault that he was hurt. It never phased you much when someone would get shot, it never phased you much as you heard the canons each night in the arena signalling another death, not in the way it phased other people, but this, this broke you.
“Finnick you are not fine, there is a fucking dart inside your hand and it's my fault.”
“Well, most people don’t throw a fourth dart sweetheart." He says, and he chuckles a little, but you don't hear it in your state of worry.
“I am so sorry I-” You were choking up over your guilt, and while he loved getting to see your raw emotions, this one he didn't enjoy.
“Hey, no, I'm sorry too, don't get yourself worked up over this. It's just a dart, I will be fine. Why don’t you go get me a first aid kit?” He really was fine, and he could have gotten it himself, but he knew how much you would get in your own head when you didn't have anything to do in these kinds of situations. 
Once you come back and help patch him up, he looks up at you and you catch his gaze. A smile crosses his face in a way he knows his cheeks are going to hurt.
“Why are you smiling” you ask, confused at his glee in a situation like this.
“Because I know you care about me. You don’t always show it, and you don’t have to, because moments like these I’ll cherish forever.” His eyes are sparkling as he looks into yours, he swears he could just stand here and look at you for the rest of his life. 
“Oh, would you shut up already” you tell him while swatting his hand away from your face and rolling your eyes.
“You can’t tell me to shut up, you threw a dart into my hand.” He’s still grinning like an idiot, and it's infecting you. One of the corners of your mouth lifts up, and it's subtle, but he catches it, how could he not with how intently he is watching you. You’re back to your old dynamic, but he loves it just as much.

Teeheeeeee 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Ooooh, sweet heavens!!! Prepare yourself 'coz I'm about to publish a Stucky x Reader fic, and it's my first time ever writing SMUT for them. It got out of hand… filthy (by my poorly standards, of course). And let's blame Bucky, 'coz I really wanted to keep it short and sweet, but nope--the man can be a little shit, and Steve agrees! 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️
Tumblr media
Here's a sneak peek for Wanton:
Bucky, as per Steve's entirely unqualified yet riveting diagnosis, was a little shit with a severe case of cuteness aggression.
Why, you ask?
Well, it was 2 p.m., and Bucky had just returned home from the compound. And when he walked in and saw you peacefully napping, he absolutely couldn't resist his joy.
.
.
.
Bucky cradled Steve’s jaw with an exaggerated air of seriousness, murmuring lowly, “Ya know, I just saw a picture of a grumpy cat online that looked exactly like you."
Bucky’s grin widened.
Steve’s frown deepened, and the playful glint in Bucky's eyes only intensified.
Rolling his eyes, Steve swatted Bucky’s hands away from his cheeks and snorted in amusement. "You sure it wasn’t you?" he deadpanned, picking up clothes one by one and sorting them into fold piles and hangers.
.
.
.
(And just a teeny peek into the SMUT...)
"Are you complaining, Sweetheart," Steve asked Bucky, adjusting Bucky's cock, directly where you were connected, rubbing it gently on your clit, and you gasped, squirming away from his grip.
The sensation was driving you nuts.
All three of you moaned in sync. A litany of curses spewed.
.
.
.
Steve chuckled, peppering your neck with kisses, making you squirm at the sensation. "You're gonna sleep and get all the rest. Understood?" he declared.
"Yes, Captain Rogers," you breathed, relaxing as you let your weight sink into the mattress. Steve's kiss lingered on your cheek long after you heard the floorboards creak as Steve shuffled away, the door groaning softly as he stepped into the living room.
God, one of you seriously need to oil the door. The croaking was getting creepy.
Moments later, the bed dipped beside you. Bucky's warm fingers slid through your hair, massaging your scalp with slow, gentle strokes.
"Don't make me come in there, Bucky," Steve's voice carried from the living room, his tone laced with warning.
Bucky chuckled against your neck. "He's such a prick sometimes," he groaned against your skin.
****
Oops!?!

Hiiii!!! Would you mind doing headcannons / a fanfic where Husk has a crush on the reader and one day they ask him if they could cover being a bartender for a while to give him a small break (and to chat with Angel Dust and Cherri Bomb bc they are sitting at the bar too) and he agrees, not thinking that they would actually be able to make any drink or anything, but they actually end up being a phenomenal bartender (yet has never told or shown anyone until now), and it make him flustered as he has an even bigger crush on them now (which he thought was literally impossible). Thank youuuu!!!! 💖💖💖 (Also I love ur work 💖✨)
I cant describe in words how your request made me feel lmao! and thank you so much! ( i could talk about this dynamic all day ♡♡♡
𝐀 𝐅𝐞𝐰 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐔𝐩 𝐌𝐲 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐯𝐞
Tumblr media Tumblr media
𐐒 includes : husk x gender neutral! reader, cherri bomb, angel dust 𐐒 cw : drinking/mentions of drinking, swearing, fluff, mutual pining, reader and husk are flirting so hard smh 𐐒 summary : Husk could use a break from the bar, so you offer to take up the job for the rest of the night! 𐐒 word count : 1.7 k 𐐒 note : ah, husk + his drinks (guys! husk! with a bartender! is!) my heart is liquid now
Tumblr media
The night sure was lively now that Angel Dust and Cherri Bomb came (literally) crashing through the front door.
You smiled, resting your head in your hands as you watched the two from the end of the bar. "Those two must be a handful for you," you teased, letting your eyes flit over to the grumpy old cat you adored.
He managed a smile, glancing over at the two who were downing shots like tomorrow didn't exist. "Yes they are," he mumbled.
"So why'd you come over here Whiskers? You know I'm still working on my drink."
"You know I gotta keep my customer's satisfied," his voice teased back- just as smooth as the whiskey he poured- how charming, you thought. "Can't leave you here all by yourself."
You nodded, feeling a blush creep over the tips of your ears and nose.
Although, you couldn't help but notice. . .
Husk, the charming gambling cat who bartended for the hotel, a cat you could've sworn- or hoped- wanted your attention most nights. . . stared at the pair across the bars edge with a tired eye.
You quietly followed his gaze, humming as you pondered the next move.
"Why don't you pour yourself a drink? On me," you slid your card over the polished wood, only to be stopped as soon as it hit the edge of the bar. Husk's fingers pushing gently against yours.
"It's bad luck for a bartender to drink on the job."
"Is that so? Sounds like superstition," you teased, sadly tucking the card into your pocket.
Doesn't usually stop him from doing it, you moped.
"Hey baby! You can buy me a drink, no strings of course!" Angel called over to you, bringing shameless attention to his chest and biting his lip.
The bar laughed with him, spirits deliciously high tonight now that the couple had joined.
You were glad for the change of pace, "You know what?" You pulled the card out again, raising three fingers so that Husk knew how much to pour "I will buy you that drink Angel."
Cherri and Angel celebrated by downing a shot each, the young overlord herself yelling into the air with glee at the score.
Your gaze lingered over to the two, the sounds of vodka and juice being poured next to you. "Husk?" you asked, not really turning to look at him.
"What's on your mind?"
You waited until the sounds of pouring stopped, little freckles of juice sticking to your hand. . . then you turned to him, a little unsure in what you were asking "This drinks for you."
With a gentle hand, you tried to stop him from sliding it over to you, and responded just as fast as his denial "Let me run the bar for the rest of the night!"
His confusion morphed into the classic doubtful Husk you knew: always keeping his guard up.
"Oh really," he rasped, leaning over the bar to hover right next to your face.
Maybe he was trying to intimidate you, or try to see through you. . . but you tried not to flinch at the challenge, watching his dark eyes narrow "And what do you get out of this?"
You shrugged, a dumb smile popping onto your lips "Time to sober up? How hard could it be?" you purred, relishing in the fact that Husk had recoiled from you.
Sitting across the bar, head cradled in your hands, smirking at him.
He sighed, letting his eyes roll "Alright, fine but-"
Before his sentence even finished, you were right next to him at the back of the bar, staring with a pep in your step at all of the liquors, juices, and garnishes he actually had back here.
"Hey I didn't say you could-"
"Sorry Husk," you pushed him out of the area, feeling a little unwelcome or foreign on this side of the bar.
I mean, you both did, but it wasn't an entirely bad feeling-yet.
"Heyy, the old kitty came to play with us!" Cherri teased, watching as Husk awkwardly took a seat next to the two.
"Finally!" Angel groaned, throwing an arm over Husk and pulling him into the fun.
"On second thought, I don't think this was a good idea," Husk unfurled himself from Angel's grasp.
"Come on Husk, you deserve a break!" Angel insisted.
"Yes! Here are the shots!" You laid the three previously poured shots onto the countertop, eagerly watching as Cherri and Angel picked theirs up, waiting for Husk to join them.
The old cat eyed the shot, the red liquid glimmering quite nicely against the bars wood-top, and back the the pair of smiling faces that awaited him "Fuck it, I could use a drink."
When he smiled, you felt it like your own, proudly watching as the unlikely trio threw the drinks back with a hiss.
"So, what'll it be guys?"
Cherri sighed, slinking over the bar with a devilish grin "Hate 'ta hound ya on your first day, but what can you make?"
You shrugged, the confidence of being behind the bar (and the previous drink you had) voiding any concerns or anxieties you would've had. "What kind of drinks were you thinking?"
"More fucking shots bitch!"
You smiled "Dirty hookers, jagerbombs, lemon drop shots. . . maybe a kamikaze?"
"Oh~" Cherri put a hand on her chest, feigning flattery, "Fucking all of 'em! And throw in a few snake bites for me!"
"Just the dirty hookers for me, doll."
The pair of deviants giggled, marveling at the bars newest bartender and talking to each other whilst you familiarized yourself with Husks' bar.
He keeps it well stocked, you thought. Speaking of which. . .
As you rummaged around for the appropriate bottles, you could feel a familiar burning at the back of your neck.
Husk was staring at you.
You blushed, trying not to make eye contact by busying yourself with this new found task. "What's with the face, Whiskers?"
You heard him grunt, "What was that?"
"What was what?"
"You an alcoholic or something?" he clarified, the sound of him running his empty shot glass against the table lying underneath Cherri and Angel's conversation.
You hummed, not really answering until you had everything set on the bar. Five shot glasses on either side, you took the two bottles in hand flipping them upside down with a smile.
The three watched with amusement as you flipped one bottle high up, counting in your head the number of ounces you were pouring with the other while catching the bottle just in time.
Husks stomach was doing flips, watching on with a mix of anxiety that you'd break something (or god forbid hurt yourself) and the fact that you were actually. . . laughing.
The alcohol in your hands, whiskey, rum, vodka- anything- flying between your hands with the debonaire smile on your face.
Every movement, every flip, every spin. It all looked-
Husk caught himself, throwing his gaze to the side and moping. Trying hard not to think about anything.
"Here you go!" You slid the shots over to the pair, sure that it'd keep them busy for a while. . . or at least a few minutes.
"So what'll it be, boss?" You leaned over the counter, solely focused on him now, with that smug smile on your face. . . or maybe you were still a little tipsy.
"Boss?"
"Sure," you shrugged "Your gonna pay me after right?" You laughed when his face dropped, assuring him it was a joke. "Come on Husk, its time for you to be served for once, what kind of drink do you want?"
He seemed to freeze, the little pieces of fur on the back of his neck standing up like he was full of static. "Anything, I just need a drink," he said honestly.
Back to the same tired Husk, you smiled, chest filled with warmth. He looked, or he seemed. . . well you didn't actually know. Did he like that you were behind the bar?
You grabbed him a bottle of beer, easily wrenching the bottle cap off with the metal opener.
Husk took it into his hands faster than you could set it on the bar, tipping the bottle back so far that the dark green glass shone in the hotels light.
"I guessed you really could've used that drink," you sighed, feeling a little guilty for not doing him this favor sooner.
"Chug! Chug! Chug!" Angel and Cherri caught on as Husk nursed his bottle to almost empty.
You smiled, albeit a little bittersweetly, and turned back to the bar in order to make him something you figured he'd like to try.
With new found 'confidence', Husk blearily eyed your back, a sinking, fluttery feeling growing in the pit of his stomach. Watching you clean the glasses, something he did all the time, it looked. . . magnificent when you did it.
Tumblr media
The night continued without a hitch.
You watched from behind the bar as the three laughed. Yes, Husk was laughing, bottle in hand and letting Angel Dust push him around playfully, daring the two of them to come gamble with him sometime.
It filled your heart completely, he looked really good with a smile on his face. . . And every now and then you'd catch him staring at you, almost as if he were proud.
To be fair, the thought almost made you fumble a cocktail you were making for Angel Dust.
"You know, your pretty good at this," he complimented you, in that glorious drunken heaven he was in. The quiet purrs coming from him was enough to convince you of that.
"Here," you offered, sliding a small silver tray with two shots and limes on it his way "on me."
He chuckled, a deep rumbling sound as fine as the drinks he served you. "No, I couldn't drink two-"
"This one's for me," you pointed, taking the slim glass between your fingers.
"Drinking on the job is bad luck," he slurred.
"Are you kidding me? This is the best luck I've ever had! Come on," you insisted.
Husk's face, while already burning from the alcohol, was flush with nerves, a little smile on his face from the feeling it gave him. "Thanks."
